If your Morphy Richards Cordless Steam Iron causes the circuit breaker or fuse to trip, this usually indicates an electrical issue, either with the power supply, the iron, or other appliances on the same circuit. Follow this guide to troubleshoot safely.
🔌 Common Causes of Circuit Trips
Overloaded circuit – too many high-wattage appliances running on the same socket or circuit.
Faulty socket – the wall outlet may have a loose connection or internal fault.
Incorrect plug fuse – the iron must use a 13A BS1362 fuse.
Damaged mains cable or plug – exposed wires or internal damage can cause short circuits.
Internal fault in the iron – if all other checks pass, the iron may need servicing.
🔧 Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
-
Try a different socket
Plug the iron into a separate, working socket.
Avoid extension leads for testing if possible.
-
Check the circuit load
Do not run other high-wattage appliances (kettle, heater, tumble dryer) on the same socket or circuit as the iron.
This reduces the risk of overloading.
-
Check the plug fuse
Ensure the plug contains a 13A BS1362 fuse.
Replace if blown or incorrect.
-
Inspect the mains cord and plug
Look for visible damage, fraying, or bent pins.
Do not use the iron if the cord is damaged.
-
Test again
If the iron still trips the electrics, stop using it immediately.
⚠️ Important Safety Information
Do not attempt to repair internal electrical components yourself.
Unplug the iron immediately if it continues to trip the electrics.
Using a faulty iron can be dangerous and may cause electric shock or fire risk.
