DW5080U1 Rowenta Iron

Hello Robert, Thank you for your inquiry. Many Rowenta irons have an automatic shut-off feature that turns the iron off if it sits too long. It's possible that while you were carefully positioning a garment on the ironing board, your iron turned itself off. To correct the problem, simply pick up your iron and give it a little shake. It should light up and come right back on. If it doesn't, try turning up the iron's heat setting. If all else fails, plug the iron into a different electrical outlet. If that does not fix the issue, try replacing the steam valve, the handle front and pump, or the power cord. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order for a part, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
