Miele B890 Rotary Iron - spring for foot switch

ID: 132367

Description: If the rotary iron continues to rotate after...

Steps:

  1. If the iron rotates when the foot switch is pressed and the heating plate is pressed against the roller, but does not move back when the switch is released, it is very likely that the return spring of the foot plate is broken. The heating plate should move back when the foot plate is manually pressed down at the back.
  2. If this is not the case, there is another defect.

  9. Proceed in reverse order to assemble the aluminum base plate.
  10. To position the two plastic holders, you can put your finger through the large holes in the steel base. Tighten the screws only slightly at first so that the plastic holders can still move slightly.
  11. Before they are finally tightened, the front curve of the aluminum foot plate must grip the plate of the steel foot, otherwise it will block it
