Cara memperbaiki Setrika Kurang Panas/Tidak Panas sangat mudah

Summary

This tutorial offers helpful tips for troubleshooting and fixing an electric iron (setrika) when it stops heating or experiences erratic behavior. The presenter outlines key steps such as checking the power cord, inspecting the thermofuse, and addressing thermostat connectors that may have become corroded over time. Additionally, the guide explains how to properly adjust the thermostat for optimal performance, including cleaning the connectors and testing the settings with an avometer. The video aims to assist viewers in resolving issues like malfunctioning indicator lights and insufficient heating, ensuring their irons work efficiently again.

Takeaways

• 😀 Ensure the power cable is in good condition when troubleshooting a malfunctioning iron.
• 😀 A faulty thermofuse can cause the iron to stop heating; check this part if the iron isn't working.
• 😀 Inspect the thermostat connector for corrosion, which can prevent proper connection and heating.
• 😀 If the iron's thermostat is malfunctioning, clean the connectors with sandpaper to restore proper function.
• 😀 Adjust the thermostat by turning the central screw, making sure the temperature regulator is set to the lowest position first.
• 😀 Ensure the thermostat's plate is positioned correctly without touching the upper and lower sections.
• 😀 Use a voltmeter to check the gap between the lowest setting and the off position; it should be between 3-5mm.
• 😀 Always test the iron after adjustments by setting it to the lowest temperature and monitoring the indicator light behavior.
• 😀 The indicator light should turn on when the iron heats up, and turn off once the desired temperature is reached.
• 😀 Successful thermostat adjustments will result in the indicator light cycling on and off based on the temperature changes.

Q & A

What is the first thing to check when an iron stops heating or has no power?

The first thing to check is the power cord (stekker) to ensure it is in good condition.

Why might the thermofuse in an iron blow?

The thermofuse might blow because of a malfunctioning thermostat, which fails to break the circuit, causing excessive heat and damaging the thermofuse.

What should be checked if the thermostat is not functioning properly?

You should check the connector on the thermostat, as it may have developed rust over time, preventing a proper connection.

What is the new problem faced by the iron in the video?

The new problem is that the indicator light turns on and off too quickly, and the iron doesn’t heat up properly despite the temperature setting being at maximum.

What is the first step in setting the thermostat on the iron?

The first step is to check the connector plate to ensure it is not rusted. If it is, it should be cleaned with sandpaper.

How should the thermostat be adjusted on the iron?

The thermostat should be adjusted by turning the middle screw using a screwdriver. Ensure the temperature control is set to the lowest position before turning the screw.

What is the correct position for the thermostat during the adjustment process?

The thermostat should be positioned so that the metal plate is centered between the top and bottom parts, ensuring that it does not touch either part.

What should the gap between the thermostat and the lowest temperature setting be?

There should be a gap of 3-5 mm from the lowest temperature setting when adjusting the thermostat.

What should be done to ensure safety when testing the iron?

Make sure to attach the temperature control knob before testing to protect your hands.

What indicates that the thermostat has been successfully repaired or adjusted?

When the indicator light turns on and off correctly based on the temperature and the iron heats properly according to the set temperature, the thermostat has been successfully adjusted.
