I have had an Oliso iron for about 2 1/2 years. All of a sudden it quit heating. The lights come on, but it doesn't heat up. I used it in the morning, and the same afternoon is when it quit working.
any ideas on what to do ??
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I have had an Oliso iron for about 2 1/2 years. All of a sudden it quit heating. The lights come on, but it doesn't heat up. I used it in the morning, and the same afternoon is when it quit working.

I'm assuming your warranty is up?
Buy a new one.
I had a very good quality, expensive iron several years ago, it did the same thing. My son loves to take things apart and fix them, so I handed it to him. He found that the thermal fuse had gone bad. Ordered a new one, installed it, iron worked great.
Problem is, it took him quite a while to get the iron taken apart and put back together. If I'd paid some technician to fix it, it would have cost the same as a brand new iron.

Thanks for the info on the fuse. Probably will have to buy a new iron :-(
2.5 years is definitely enough time for a sewist or quilter to wear out an iron, especially irons that shut off after a period of time, like the Olisio. They constantly cook and reheat, then cool again. Best to buy super cheap or super expensive. I finally purchasd a pressure steam (dry steam) iron last winter and donated my Olisio to a friend.

ClairvoyantQuilter, could you share what this is and brand name please? ThanksOriginally Posted by ClairVoyantQuilter
Olisio is the brand name of the iron.
I think she's asking about the other iron ClairvoyantQuilter bought.

Reliable i500 . . .it truly makes a tremendous difference how my seams look. The take holds about 8 cups of water (I use distilled). And a tank lasts me all day. No auto shut off, completely dry steam. A pleasure to use.

Thank you for this answer. Still having a problem wrapping my head around "dry" steam. But from the looks of that set up, it's out of my league.
Thanks so much for answering and the photo

If you have to put water in the iron then steam is steam and created by evaporating water.I like my heavy-duty Sunbeam steam iron -ha
