DIY iron repair tefal fv9347

In detail: do-it-yourself repair of the Tefal fv9347 iron from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Tefal avoids releasing ordinary irons. All steam rooms. One of the few companies that introduced wireless models on the market. Let's say with some confidence: Tefal shares the first or second place with Philips in this segment. The only wireless irons to reach Russia. The design is much different, the base is formed by the same fundamental elements. The soles are the same. Conditioning the similarity of the heating elements. It is not surprising that many people strive to repair the Tefal iron with their own hands. The leader in sales of the domestic market.

Starting with the simplest Soviet irons, the design includes the following elements:

Regulator housing.
Sole.
Spiral rolled into the sole.
A set of electrical connections.

An ordinary iron is equipped with two removable parts. Outsole, back wall with cord. Bolts are always put in, the art is finding fasteners. Old Soviet iron heads were hidden under the knob of the regulator. And removing the latter was sometimes a problem. More often it was possible to do the necessary with a slotted screwdriver, driven by skillful hands. The back wall could be bolted or simply snapped into place. In the latter case, the connection became short-lived. But behind the back wall, you can find a block where the power cord is attached. A faulty cable causes 20% of faults. Accordingly, we will ring the veins immediately.

It is convenient to repair irons by discarding the Chinese tester. The regulator changes the preload on the bimetallic plate. Turn the knob, try to understand if the sensor is working properly, how smoothly it works. If potholes have formed, some areas do not transmit electric current well, it will be immediately visible. Of course, irons equipped with the function of automatic adjustment to the fabric are deprived of the regulator, in most cases, as half a century ago, a round rotating die is located under the handle. And what is behind the sole.

Video (click to play).

The bolts are unscrewed, we get access to the heating element, the regulator mechanism. In modern irons, the body hides at least two interesting details:

Iron Thinking of us Tefal

The first one takes an arbitrary place, determined by the design. The second took a fancy to the nose. Away from the sole, of course. The scheme of action is as follows:

the sole reaches the desired temperature;
liquid is automatically supplied from the reservoir;
under the influence of temperature, water becomes steam;
the steam boost is dumped by a special button that pumps a slightly larger amount of liquid.

The calorific value of the sole of the iron is below infinity. Time will pass between the two bursts of steam. There are schemes where emissions are separated by short time intervals by twos and threes. As with semi-automatic shooting. Then - an indispensable pause. There are devices with pre-heating of water by a boiler. It is clear that there is no boiler inside, the water heater is really worth it. A higher temperature will make it easier to get steam. The FreeMove cordless irons in cycles look great. Heating - 4 seconds, work 25 seconds. Heat is stored by the sole, by water (water heat accumulators based on swimming pools in private houses will help explain the principle of operation). The process is controlled by automation, enough energy has been accumulated, a green light starts blinking, indicating: you can start ironing.

Wireless irons can be discussed separately. The design is slightly different from the usual with steam. Many manufacturers have an option with a cord fastening attached, but a feature of Tefal irons: wireless means - no wire.

Before you start repairing the Tefal iron with your own hands, follow the light indication.The models have built-in light bulbs, diodes that help to grasp the meaning of the problem. The network one, which does not want to burn, indicates: there is no power. The cord must have spoiled the case. Heating does not light up, faulty: contact, spiral. Easy to check. In good condition, the resistance of the heater is calculated according to Ohm's law. The rated power is taken, the current voltage of our country is 230 volts. Divide the first by the square of the second, you get the desired resistance in ohms.

A modern iron contains a thermal fuse. The accessory has taken a liking to the sole, tears the connection when the parameters exceed the norm. Irons that adapt to the type of fabric have no drawback. Allowed to be left on on the ironing board, it will cost. A broken scheme is another matter. Fuses are bimetallic and wire. The latter are called disposable: they require replacement. Protect electric kettles, the trigger is set to a lower temperature.

The iron refuses to heat - having ascertained the integrity of the cord, we examine the heating element with a tester. The automation of complex irons is failing, so try dialing. Check the relays, thyristors that control the power section.

Pay attention to the thermostat. Clean the contacts of the mechanical slider with graphite from a pencil. Improves sliding. The simplest regulator changes the response temperature of the bimetallic relay. Complex - forms a resistive divider, acting as a rheostat. This is not the best method, some of the power is lost. Graphite fearlessly tolerates heat and serves as a lubricant. Contacts can be cleaned with fine sandpaper.

There are many reviews devoted to the topic. Let's recommend a little-known effective method. You will need a clean frying pan that will fit your iron. Get some strong vinegar.

Pour a centimeter into a bowl with a 5% solution. Put three coins inside so that they don't block any of the holes in the sole. We put the iron on top. Naturally, we disconnect the device from the outlet. The water boils, cools. Repeat the cycle 2 - 4 times, then rinse the sole. Most irons are self-cleaning. Pour in water, holding the soleplate horizontally over the sink, press the button, letting the liquid drain. Recipe cleans iron holes, bottom strokes. Carrying out the procedure periodically, clean the coins to avoid the appearance of rust on things.

Try to use distilled water. Apart from the typical filter, the old-fashioned method. Boil the water! Hardness salts will collect the spiral of the electric kettle, the dirt is not as bad as on clothes. In irons with boilers, vinegar is used normally for periodic cleaning. The tool is universal; manufacturers of steamers, steam cleaners, and other household appliances like to recommend using it. Remember: do not clean rubber items with vinegar. Applies to gaskets for washing machines, dishwashers, water heaters. The spray arm contains rubber parts. Vinegar is bad for the knot. Will cause premature aging of the product, wear of parts. Self-repair of Tefal irons will lead to a new headache.

The spray arm sometimes has to be cleaned. Water refuses to splash forward through the spout - the hole is clogged. Avoid using vinegar, citric acid, chemicals. Carefully use matches, pins, and other trifles, buy an anti-scale agent for washing machines, dishwashers. Removes sediment formed by powders with conditioner on the tank walls. Dishwasher cleaner, washing machine cleaner is perfect for the spray arm. Clean the rest with acetic acid. It will not be superfluous to read the instructions, practice shows: the paper usually goes directly to the basket.

Repair of irons with a steam generator is fundamentally no different from ordinary ones. The big word simply means a water tank with an automatic valve, a button. The position of the holes in the sole allows you to examine the built-in steam generator. Lined up with an edge: water simply drips from the container into the center.When the holes have dotted the surface, there is a flow heater or boiler inside. On the way to the bottom, the water becomes steam.

Repairing the Tefal iron is a task that requires at least a little experience with the tool. You should be aware that some models of the brand cannot be repaired at home without special equipment and skills. Consider how you can repair an iron of this brand with your own hands.

A device that you don't even have to try to repair with your own hands is cordless iron Tefal... There are various options for such devices on the market:

with contact pads;
with a sole that accumulates heat;
with a detachable power cable.

The first two categories clearly require diagnostics, disassembly and repair using special equipment: it is unlikely that such an iron can be repaired at home. The third category has a clearly defined weak area. The scheme of work looks like this:

The iron with a cable connected to a special mechanism is included in the 220V network.
When the temperature set by the regulator is reached, the cable is shot off by the spring block.
Until the temperature drops, the cable cannot be inserted into place: it is not fixed, and in some models it is not even inserted.

The problem of irons with cable shooting is one - they have two thermal control mechanisms: the main one and the cord fixation. Over time, the owners of such a model will have to switch to the following scheme of action: after ironing a part of their clothes, wait for the temperature to drop, insert the cord, move the regulator to a higher value and wait again. The reason for this behavior of the iron is in the oxidation of the bimetallic plate of the shooting control device. It is enough to clean it, replace it, in some cases just fix it.

How to disassemble an iron from Tefal correctly? They provide multilevel mounting scheme... The following features are available:

The top cover cannot be removed with the main body.
To get to the electronic components, you need to unscrew the screw in the nose. It can be seen in the area of the water dispenser through the translucent plastic.

The steam supply devices are accessible after removing the top cover. To do this, you need to dismantle the buttons that close access to the mounting screw. By unscrewing them, you can remove the top cover and gain full access to all components of the device.

The initial dismantling of the Tefal hull is no different from the scheme used in other brands:

It is necessary to remove the clamping screw or screws that are located under the cover at the rear of the case. They must be screwed in to unlock and remove the cover.
There may be a few more fasteners under the lid, located under the water tank or under the plastic head of the thermostat.
Lift the plastic case carefully. In addition to screws and self-tapping screws, it can be fixed with latches. You can find them with a thin strip of steel (with a knife blade or a screwdriver) by passing along the body.
To access the electrical part, it may be necessary to remove the protective cover. It is also fastened with several self-tapping screws, which are easy to find.

Tefal irons can have a complex body shape, so you need to carefully and thoroughly inspect it for the presence of open or hidden clamps and fastening points.

After removing the upper case and inner protection covers, the disassembled iron looks like this:

It does not matter which model of the iron is disassembled for repair and diagnostics. Devices with steel sole or branded Ultragliss have the same knots. Problems can arise due to the failure of a disposable thermal fuse, oxidation of contacts, clogging of steam outlets, the occurrence of contamination and the consequences of corrosion due to moisture ingress on areas under voltage.

Among Tefal irons, the following breakdowns are common.

In Tefal irons, steam is not activated by the command of a button. This plastic part presses against the hollow tube, which transfers the force to the corresponding contact.The part often cracks over time. It is useless to glue - the tube has thin walls and will not have sufficient strength. For repairs, you will need a shrink hose, which can be purchased at an electronics store. The hose is put on a plastic tube and heated, for example, with a lighter. After repair, the part is installed in its original place.

The most common problem with irons is damaged power cord... It is necessary to check the condition of the fuses (one of them may be in the plug), the absence of carbon deposits on the contacts, the absence of chafing, creases and other mechanical damage. The area where the cable enters the plug and the body of the iron is especially carefully examined. If damage is found, the cable must be replaced. The contact comb, located in the rear part, under the housing cover, is also subject to careful examination.

The entire construction of the iron is carefully examined. Areas where limescale or oxidation is present are cleaned out. For this, a fine sandpaper, a brush, light acidic detergents, ethyl alcohol can be used. The cleaning procedure is mandatory - in most models, water and steam directly enter the current-carrying elements of the circuit.

There are several ways to clean the sole. One of them is to use cotton swabs dipped in in vinegar... They are pushed as deep as possible into the nozzles and turned. The availability of other methods depends on the sole material:

Metallic - cleaned with salt. It is enough to iron a cotton cloth covered with fine salt at maximum heat.
Ceramics and metal can be cleaned with a mild citric acid solution. To do this, take a large frying pan into which the solution is poured (about a centimeter) and 3 coins are put. The iron is installed with the sole on these coins, but so that its nozzles are not covered. After that, the solution is brought to a boil and cooled naturally. The procedure is repeated 3-4 times.

Blocked nozzles must be pierced with a toothpick or needle before cleaning. Teflon-coated irons are best taken to a specialized workshop. Depending on the characteristics of the surface and how long it is used, home methods can lead to flaking or other impairments to the smoothness of the sole.

It is not recommended to clean your irons with vinegar. Exposure to high temperature acid causes oxidation of electrical working circuits, leads to plastic brittleness, and can lead to irreparable damage to pumps and regulators.

If the decision is made to use citric acid, the contact areas should be protected. Wrap the attachment points of the wires of the heating element of the iron with electrical tape or close it with heat shrinkage, for example.

Cleaning the iron thermostat is quite simple. The assembly is disassembled and carbon deposits are removed from the contacts. A strip of suede is suitable, which is moistened with alcohol or citric acid, stretched between the contacts (in the diagram - zone 2) and driven until the amount of dirt decreases. It is not recommended to use skins and abrasives - the surface becomes rough, current surges are stronger, as a result of which burnout occurs even faster.

The thermostat of the iron may fail bimetallic plate, whose task is to interrupt the electrical circuit. The element is not repaired, only replaced. Another problem is stem breakage. It is made of ceramics; the part, if desired, can be made from an improvised material, for example, a resistor. But in most cases it is easier to change the entire iron thermostat.

The listed repair actions can be done by hand if you have even a little experience with electrical engineering. More complex operations, for example, troubleshooting problems with the iron position sensor or electronic components, are best left to specialists.

So, with the beginning of 2015, we are all quietly plunging into another economic crisis. Also, the attitude towards things that, in the event of a breakdown, would simply be replaced with new ones, changes smoothly. Now it has become costly and probably unreasonable to do this, especially if you show ingenuity, then a broken thing can be repaired.Moreover, the costs of repairs are not comparable, both with the cost of repairs and with the huge prices for a new thing. Marina, a reader of the Secret of the Master website, showed her engineering ingenuity and repaired her iron. She shares her secret of success with all of us.A steam iron is an irreplaceable thing in every apartment and a breakdown of an iron, especially now, can greatly disrupt financial plans and cause a serious blow to the family budget. An annoying nuisance occurred from intensive use, the iron lost its important function of supplying steam due to a breakdown in the button for supplying steam. Image - DIY iron repair tefal fv9347

Sometimes the hardest part of a repair is trying to disassemble the device without breaking it. Marina reveals to us the secret of the iron fasteners and, most importantly, shows us where and how to fix the breakdown.

Before proceeding with disassembly, you need to prepare the tool. Tefal uses sprocket screws. These screws are unscrewed with a screwdriver with an appropriate tip or a screwdriver with replaceable bits. It is easier to buy a bat in a tool store, but you can make it even more tricky to buy a set of screwdrivers in the “All for 40 rubles” store (today it is already called “All for 42 rubles”). A flat screwdriver from the kit will allow you to unscrew the sprocket screw.

Step 1. Find the first screw on the vertical support of the iron. See photo. We unscrew the screw.

Step 2. The second screw is located under the steam regulator. Carefully take it out and unscrew the second screw.

Step 3. The third screw is cleverly hidden under the buttons. Carefully pry the buttons with a flat screwdriver and take them out. We unscrew the screw.

Step 4. Remove the iron cover and see the destruction. The plastic tube on which the button rests has broken :(.

Step 5. Do not try to use superglue - it is not omnipotent. This glue can only hold the broken parts of the tube together. To restore the functionality of the iron, you will need a heat-shrinkable tube with a diameter of 4 mm. Purchase the handset from an electrical or radio store.

We cut off the heat shrinkage to the required length and put it on the broken tube with our own hands. If you have no experience with heat shrinkage, practice on the remainder of the tube. It is best to heat the tube with hot air (a household hair dryer will not work), but the flame of a lighter or the heat of a soldering iron will be enough. Do not expose the duct and plastic of the iron to direct flame! The tube should only be exposed to hot air. We heat the tube until it shrinks. We install heat shrinkage on the second tube.

Step 6. Assembling the iron in reverse order. Hooray! The Tefal Ultragliss Diffusion iron has been refurbished! Your prize is a working iron, saved money, time and a set of screwdrivers.

Many thanks Marina DvaMandarina for the provided material for the repair of the Tefal iron.

For. in order to look neater and more pleasant for those around them, people from ancient times have tried to get rid of various folds and irregularities on their clothes. In the early periods of history, stones of a suitable shape, dishes filled with coals and other improvised means were used for this purpose. The electric iron, which has become ubiquitous today, was invented relatively recently.

It begins its history at the end of the nineteenth century, when the electric iron was first patented. Since then, the technique has undergone significant changes and modern Tefal brand irons are one of the most striking and vivid examples. However, even a technically reliable device deteriorates over time, which makes it necessary to repair it. The most rational solution would be to do it yourself, which will save money.

Considering the technical device and the characteristic features of the operation of electric irons, it can be noted that they are quite similar to another category of electrical appliances - a kettle. The main element of the design, without which the normal operation of the device is impossible, is the heating element, which has a power of about 1000-2200 watts.

For correct operation, the required voltage is supplied to it.However, in order to avoid overheating of the heating element and damage to clothes, manufacturers equip devices with a temperature controller with various modes available to the user.

For the vast majority of irons, the following features of work are characteristic:

When you turn a special round knob for clockwise adjustment, the operating temperature of the iron sole increases;
Switching the regulator on and off is accompanied by a special click;
The main element due to which the adjustment takes place is the bimetallic plate, which expands under the influence of temperature.

The system for supplying electricity to the appliance is quite simple and includes an electrical cord and a plug. Due to the design features, to repair the cord, you will need to disassemble the iron.

The design of Tefal irons involves a specific way of attaching the sole to the internal elements of the device... It is carried out both with the help of special latches and with the use of screws, which can be carefully masked. For this purpose, most often, they are placed under decorative plugs, as well as under a water tank. In order not to violate the integrity of the structure during disassembly, it is necessary to find all of them.

In the vast majority of cases, damage to the power cord is the cause of a Tefal iron breakdown. In order to check this element, you will need to use a tester. It is necessary to remove the back cover of the iron, then ring the cord with a tester and locate the breakdown.

If a break is found, it is recommended that you either repair the cord yourself, having previously disconnected it from the mains, or replace it. In the second case, it is very important that the used analogue corresponds to the technical parameters of the original.

One of the key elements in almost all electrical appliances is a fuse... It serves as a kind of protection for the entire circuit from damage to its most important and sensitive elements as a result of voltage surges. To repair it, you will need:

Disconnect the device from the network;
Ring the thermal fuse with a tester, connecting wires to it on both sides;
In the event of an element malfunction (the tester indicator is off), it is recommended to either replace it or close the electrical circuit in this part by removing the fuse.

Replacement seems to be a more expedient solution, as the fuse can prevent many serious breakdowns.

Another key element of Tefal irons is the temperature controller... In order to simplify access to the regulator, first of all, you should try to remove its handle from the outside of the case. If this cannot be done, you will have to completely disassemble the case and unscrew the fastening elements to access the desired part of the device.

Regulator diagnostics is performed in several stages.:

Set the regulator to the extreme positions, if it is impossible to do this, you should use pliers;
To ring the element with a tester, periodically switching the regulator to different positions;
If in the extreme positions of the regulator, the tester light is on - the element is working properly.

In those cases when an element malfunction is observed, it will be necessary to clean the contacts. To do this, it is recommended to use sandpaper, a nail file or a similar abrasive. After cleaning, you can wipe the contacts with alcohol and allow to dry, which will increase the cleaning efficiency.

Everyone knows that the most important element in the design of the Tefal electric iron is the heating element... To diagnose its performance, you can use a tester similar to the previous option. But, the element itself is practically irreparable, therefore, when it breaks down, the device is most often thrown away.

Before that, it is advisable to disassemble it in order to get the most important parts, such as fuse, regulator, and power cord. Indeed, during subsequent repair work, such elements will certainly come in handy.

In order for the steaming system in Tefal irons to work flawlessly, it is advisable to use distilled, filtered or at least boiled water. This will prevent limescale build-up and extend the life of the system.

To remove the formed scale, it is recommended to adhere to the following procedure:

Disconnect the device from the network;
Place the iron in a container filled with water so that its level is one and a half centimeters higher than the sole of the appliance. The back of the iron should be slightly raised;
Turn the steam regulator to set the maximum value;
Add a glass of vinegar, citric acid or descaler to one liter of water;
Boil the container on the stove, then cool slightly and repeat the procedure.

Boiling in this way must be repeated about four times to completely remove the formed scale.... After completing the repair, let the device dry for several hours. After this period, the iron can be used in standard mode.

Some breakdowns of household appliances with minimal skills and tools can be easily eliminated; this does not require contacting a service center. It is quite possible to repair the Tefal iron with your own hands, the main thing is to properly disassemble the device and determine the cause of the malfunction.

Ironing equipment from a French manufacturer is divided into steam devices and with a steam generator. The first ones have a classic design of an electric iron; in addition, there is a water tank with a volume of up to 300 ml inside. The liquid, poured into a special container, is heated and through the holes in the sole is supplied to the fabric in the form of steam.

The design of devices with a steam generator is somewhat different. The water tank is located at the station in the boiler. The iron and the station are connected by a water supply pipe, a power supply wire. The water in the boiler turns into steam and is continuously supplied through pipes under pressure to the soleplate of the iron. Steam jets emit from the holes in the sole and the fabric is smoothed out.

The reasons for the failure of the device can be:

physical - poor contact of the cord, heating element and so on;
chemical - scale from hard water on the heating element;
mechanical - sinking buttons.

To remedy any of these problems, you will first need to disassemble your Tefal iron.

For work you need screwdrivers: flat and an asterisk.

Important! Disconnect the appliance from the mains before starting. Some models (FV 9347, 5375, 9240, 4680, 3530 and 3830) have an anti-lime rod installed and must be removed.

Parsing begins by unscrewing two bolts on the back wall. Use a star screwdriver for this. The third bolt is located under the steam supply button, you need to carefully remove it: pry it with a flat screwdriver, bend the plastic latches, pull it towards you. You should act very carefully so as not to break anything. Likewise, remove the button to spray water.

Unscrew the bolt located under the buttons of the steam supply system, after which the handle of the device can be dismantled.Carefully remove the soleplate heating temperature regulator. Take out power cord connector... 2 more screws are hidden under it and 4 contacts are visible.

Go to the analysis of the case. The housing consists of two securely sealed parts, which should not be attempted to be disassembled. The sealant is visible to the naked eye, it is a black mass, similar to a rubber band.

Important! The soles of Tefal irons are attached to the inner elements using special methods that differ from those used by other manufacturers. These can be hard-to-find screws (usually located under the plugs) or special latches. Make sure all fasteners have been removed before starting to separate the sole from the chassis.

In order not to finally break the device, before work it is worth watching a video about the parsing and repair of the Tefal iron.

Some Tefal irons, such as the Ultragliss FV4650 or Supergliss FV 3535, are equipped with Easycord system, a distinctive feature of which is the special design of the rear panel of the device. The bolts are on a stand connected to the handle. Having unscrewed them, remove the cover that covers the place where the cord is installed, and then proceed to disassemble the steam supply system. The buttons are located on a removable block, which can be dismantled by unbending special latches.

After that, you can remove the handle by gently pulling it up. The next step is to remove the screws. 2 of them are located on the back of the iron, and another is located on the front, under the removable block. Next, the iron is disassembled in the same way as standard models.

The repair procedure depends on the type of fault. The most common ones are worth considering. Some of them can be dealt with independently; the solution of especially difficult problems should be entrusted to specialists. For work, you will need a tester, screwdrivers, electrical tape, in some cases - spare parts if you need to replace defective elements.

Most often, the iron does not turn on due to the frayed cord... It has a heavy load during the operation of the device, and over time it is damaged. To make sure that the cause of the failure is in the cord, you need to check it with a tester. To do this, after removing the back panel of the iron, the tester traverses the entire length of the wire, reveals the area of the gap.

Further 2 options are possible.

Repair the cord: insulate the wires, change the plug, remove twists.
Completely replace, choosing an analogue that is suitable for technical parameters.

The holes in the bottom of the appliance may be blocked due to limescale accumulations, limescale or burnt-on tissue particles. For cleaning, use a piece of soft cloth dipped in vinegar or citric acid solution. They wipe problem areas until the deposits are completely dissolved. When processing, it is important to avoid contact of a damp cloth with other elements of the iron.

Do not clean the sole with sharp objects: scratches will appear on it, due to which the working surface will not slide well on the fabric. At sinking the feed button steam on the Tefal iron, clean the part and its location from dust, inspect the latches, and then put it back. If the spray arm becomes clogged, it must be cleaned. To do this, use a needle.

The heating temperature of the sole depends on this element and the possibility of setting the desired ironing mode. The most common cause of a thermostat malfunction is clogged contacts... Small fluff clogs in the gaps. After disassembling the device, you should clean the contacts with sandpaper, a needle or a sharp object. After checking - turn the bush on which the switch handle is located. If everything is in order, you will hear a click.

The fuse can be single or reusable. The first ones stop working when they burn out, and it is impossible to fix them, you should completely replace the part.

The fuse will need to ring with a tester. If the indicator on the instrument does not light up, the instrument must be disassembled and the wire contacts checked. Then the gap is closed or the element is completely replaced if it cannot be repaired.

The reason the iron turns on but the soleplate does not heat up is heater breakdown... In most modern models of irons, the heating element is connected to a water tank, and it will not work to dismantle it to replace it with a new one. You will either have to completely replace the sole or buy a new device. The first option is impractical - it is difficult to find a suitable work surface, and its acquisition will not be cheap.

In order for the iron to work properly for a long time and not have to be repaired, you should adhere to simple recommendations.

If the device has a self-cleaning function, you must use it at least once a month.
It is important to monitor the condition of the soleplate of the iron: remove plaque and carbon deposits from it in a timely manner. To do this, use a solution of vinegar or citric acid, special pencils for cleaning. In no case should solutions be poured into the tank - they can spoil small parts, gaskets, which will result in depressurization of the tank.
Costs use only soft water: filtered, boiled, thawed, distilled or special designed for irons. This will help prevent lime scale build-up.
Avoid kinking the cord. After finishing ironing and cooling the device, the wire is carefully wound around the body.

If there are serious breakdowns that cannot be eliminated on your own, you should contact the Tefal service centers located in Moscow and other large cities of Russia. More information can be found on the manufacturer's official website. There is also an opportunity to order the spare parts necessary for repair.

The other day I had to disassemble and make iron repair Tefal FV5176 Aqua Speed 175. At first glance, nothing complicated if you know where to start disassembly and, most importantly, where the latches are. The Tefal FV5176 iron was admitted with a diagnosis - the light is on, but not warm. The very first thing is of course you need to ring ten, but you still need to get to it.

I started disassembling the iron from the back, since there were all the same screws, three pieces. But the screws are tricky. Big star. Two simple asterisks and one not simple, but there was also a pin in the asterisk. You can, of course, break the pin, but I have two sets of screwdrivers specifically for such cases. Screwdrivers of different types and different shapes and sizes.

In general, I removed the back cover and again no screws. He looked, tugged at the wires and pulled out the cord. It's clear. It just fits like a plug into an outlet. Disconnected the light sensor.

And I began to think about how to further disassemble the Tefal FV5176 iron. Usually modern irons are disassembled from the spout. So he began to pry him with a small screwdriver. The nose did not go. He began to pull the steam regulator. He gave in and pulled away. Then again he forged the nose of the Tefal FV5176 iron and it also came out with one latch, and then unfastened all the latches.

Further, it is easier as usual, there was again an asterisk screw. Unscrewed it. I took off the iron handle along with the steam humidifier and the screws appeared again, three pieces. I unscrewed them and finally got to the Tefal FV5176 iron thermostat.

And now you can call everything calmly.

The ten rang, he is whole, already good. Then the block of contacts of the iron thermostat rang. Doesn't ring. This is the reason. Since the ten is 2300 watts, it is likely that the Aqua Speed 175 iron overheated and the contacts burned, or the contacts in the thermostat are not of high quality, you know - China. Although our equipment is not of high quality now.

I cleaned the thermostat contacts with zero sandpaper and the contact appeared. I assembled the iron with a canopy and turned it on for verification. He warmed up and turned off, then when he cooled down he turned on again. After that I assembled the iron in reverse order.

That's all iron repair Tefal FV5176.

It's good that the ten did not burn out, otherwise the repair would be expensive.

And so the Tefal FV5176 iron will still work.

Of course, until the next cleaning of the contacts ...

Thanks for the stuff. I also went on with tefal all day. Couldn't open it for the life of me. Now I will also clean the contacts.

Good luck, there is nothing complicated

Hello! I have a question what kind of fungus pin on the last photo from the left, if you can get more details

Why do you need him, lost or what?

yes lost

Oleg, I don’t remember exactly, if it was, then you need it, try to turn on the iron without him. If it does not turn off or turn on, then it will be necessary to search and install. Try asking around in workshops from burnt irons

tell me, pliz, I have the same brand of iron after you turn it on after 30 seconds it turns off, and when you pull out the plug and put it back on, it turns on again and after a few. sec gasttet, what's the matter ah?

Better to give it to the master, let him see
