Introduction

If your Shark Ultimate Professional iron does not turn or the plate does not heat up then a new power cord might solve the problem. Additionally, if there is physical damage to the power cord, a new power cord will be needed to avoid a safety hazard.

Before dismantling the iron, ensure that the outlet is not the problem by checking the iron in an alternative outlet.

Note:

Before beginning this guide, ensure the device is both unplugged and cool; failure to do so may result in electrocution or burns.

Properly discard the power cord at a proper recycling center or dump.

These instructions are not helpful at all without a source to purchase a replacement cable. Two people have previously asked this question. Can we get a response? I have done extensive searches online for a POLARIZED 16/2 HPN power cable with crimped ring terminals. NON-polarized ones are cheap and readily available. The show up immediately when searching for an iron replacement power cable. That’s not the cable used for this iron, nor is it the cable used in the pictures of this repair. Please tell us where we can purchase the cable, or even tell us you don’t know. Please, don’t just ignore the inquiry.

Model# GI505-55 uses security T-10 screw used to secure back panel. Suggest testing both conductors for continuity from above white clamp to the ring connectors. This may be the point of failure if the clamp was over-tightened. In this case, the cord can be reused with a loss of 6 inches and crimping of new ring connectors.
