Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide contains step-by-step instructions to replace power cord of the Philps steam Iron GC 1905.

If your Philips steam Iron GC 1905 does not switch on and the soleplate stays cold, it could indicate a connection problem and a possible fault in the power cord. Check the power cord regularly and if you notice that it’s distorted, twisted and shows visible damage or the plug is damaged, use this guide to replace the power cord.

A damaged power cord can cause the iron to malfunction and can be a safety hazard. Always use manufacturer certified heat-resistant power cord.

Before using this guide, check and make sure that the wall socket is functional and not causing connection problems. Sometimes, plugging the iron in an alternate wall socket can resolve the problem.
