How do I replace the electrical cable on a tefal pro express iron?

Question

The electrical cable pulls out and springs back when not in use. Although no strain on the cable power keeps turning off - bad connection? No longer under guarantee how do I replace the cable.

Answer 1

The below link shows details on how to replace a damaged power cord. It is not an easy process. You may benefit from sending to a repair center and paying the cost if it's no longer under warranty.

For your own safety, I would not recommend doing so unless you have electrical engineering experience, as it can result in a fire or an explosion, causing injury to yourself.

Answer 2

As you are obviously not very experienced then the first answer is probably the best route for you, especially as you can pick up a brand new iron pretty cheaply these days.
However, if you are bent on doing it yourself you need to take the end off first, where the cable enters the iron. Make sure it is not plugged in.
You then see exactly how the old cable is connected.
Brown wire to live, blue wire to neutral, and green/yellow to earth.
Remember this because when you purchase an identical cable to replace it with, this is the way you are going to do it.
The trick is to able to do it without nicking the wire and cutting through the insulation.If you make a mistake here it could be Goodnight Vienna for you! It is a very risky business, and that is why it is best left to the professionals.
So for the sake of a few quid go and get it replaced.

Answer 4

well u open it up if the caple runs inside of it. there might be an error in the connection. get a soldering iron and solder it to watever it needs to be soldered back to. if its a problem with the actual cable itself cut off the cableing past the bad part of the cable and use a wire strippper to expose the 2 wire inside wires. then cut off a cable from some electronic device yur not using and do the same thing. you can then splice the 2 together and solder them. of course, it might be a replaceable cable and if that is the case just buy a new one.
