Fault Repair 

3.1 

Emergency Release Does Not Allow Laundry to Be Removed 

Cause:

Leaf spring defective. 

Remedy:

Replace the leaf spring with holder; see Section 035-4.1. 

3.2 

Heater Plate Cannot Be Lowered Completely 

Cause:

The emergency release springs open while the iron is in use. The faulty 
component here is the catch. When die-cast burrs are removed, the tabs on 
the catch are also partially ground down, making them no longer able to hold 
the catch in place. 

Remedy:

Replace the emergency release catch.
