My steam iron was dropped and printed circuit board with switch on it was cracked. Model is russell hobbs steamglide , model no. is 12978. Printed circuit board number is HDXT-B320-MV1.0. Where can I get a replacement circuit board.

Most circuit boards and single or double sided. The backs are coated with a green protective coating. I would scrape this coating with a knife and use a soldering iron to place a solder bridge (Gob of solder) across that crack. Crazy glue could then be added to put back the protective coating. It might not look pretty, but could be easier than finding a new circuit board.
