I bought my russell hobbs 15081 steamglide iron in January,and now it won't heat up.Iv'e checked the fuse. Any ideas?

My one stopped working due to the thermal (not electrical) fuse blowing. There was quite a bit of corrosion inside the iron including the thermostat, so I guess that it over heated melting the wax in the thermal fuse, so this safety feature worked.
Normally I just replace the thermal fuse, if all looks fine, but this iron was beyond a safe repair.

yes major fault on 15801

Could be a manufacturing fault with these.
Two new Russell Hobbs 15081s have failed on me this year.
