this is why i never put water into my irons no matter what they say, or how much they cost. if i want steam i keep a spray bottle on the ironing board and can spritz at any time without worrying about what the iron will do now. if the iron still heats the way i like and is good other than the stuck button i would empty any water that may be in it, fill a spray bottle for steam and just keep using the iron until it doesn't heat any longer. (unless it can be returned of course)
