Check if your iron is not heating up despite being plugged in; this could indicate a fault. Inspect the power cord and plug for any damage. Ensure the temperature setting is adjusted correctly and the power light is illuminated. If it’s a steam iron, verify the water reservoir is adequately filled and vents are not clogged. A blinking indicator light suggests an internal issue, needing professional repair or replacement. Regular maintenance can prevent these problems and extend your iron's lifespan.
