Description: If the iron is flashing white but does not heat...

Steps:

  1. Unplug the device and let it cool down. Failure to do so poses a risk of injury or death!
  2. Use a pointed object to remove the rubber plug from the hole
  3. Remove the PH2 screw (see image for length)

  14. Open the handle according to the linked guide.
  15. Unplug the power cord before opening and measuring! Otherwise, there is a danger to life!
  16. Check the 470 nF film capacitor for capacitance using the multimeter. This can be done while it is still soldered in place. In a defective device, it will be well below 360 nF.
  17. Release the screw, release the circuit board from its clips, and replace the capacitor.
  18. The capacitor must be of the "X2" type and have a voltage rating of at least 275V.
