leaking water: My rowenta iron is leaking water from the back. Update (06/29/2017) Thank you for responding. I didn’t explain my problem fully. The water is leaking from the back of the soleplate of the iron. It is not leaking from the holes in the metal soleplate. It appears as if I can take the back off the iron and clean it and tighten the screw (appears to not be tightened all the way). Do you think this would work? I am a 67 year old grandmother who is not very technically inclined.
Household irons can drip and spit out liquid water from the holes in the metal sole plate instead of producing steam if you have set the temperature too low.
