Introduction

Philips Pressurised Steam Generator GC8220 Teardown

I want to clarify about its temperature sensor; that if faulty, it will make problems for the steam function.

If no Philips spare part is available to you, it can be replaced with a generic from electronics component shops.

Step 1

              Temperature Sensor (NTC Thermistor)               

• The Temperature Sensor is attached to the bottom of the Boiler unit.
• It is an NTC Thermistor.

With GC9640 the termistor is 226 kOhm @ 26°C.

My Philips GC 9245 after ironing found water on the shirts, and the iron heat is not like as hot as in the past, is this cause by the Temperature Sensor (NTC Thermistor) ?

With GC9220 model, résistance of boiler CTN : around 300k à 15°C, decreasing slowly to 160K at around 30°C, I didn’t test with other temperature.
