Is this the time of the year for iron problems?
Within two weeks both my Maytag cordless and the Shark
died. The Maytag seems to have had a short because suddenly the handle became very hot. I immediately turned it off and unplugged it. I tested it the next day and it was dead.
Then the following week I went to use the cheaper Shark that I keep in the laundry area and although it worked the day before..it also was dead. Tested different outlets...nope.
I always unplug everything...all my machines - everything.
I make it a point to put a bead bracelet around the cords of the appliances and when I plug it in the bracelet is on my wrist. I put it back on the cord when it's unplugged.
Without exception. Word of caution..for those of you who keep your toasters plugged in...don't. If I could talk my husband into unplugging the coffeemaker I would, but that one has a timer on it so that won't do.
Glad you got to the iron when you did.
Better to have the fire department arrive and find everything under control than the consequence.
