The Feet do not retract after being used for only a few minutes, Why?

Every time you let go of it or release pressure from handle, the feet come out to keep it from burning fabric. If feet stay up or won't come up, unplug and plug back in again and they will work properly.

I assume it is because once the iron reaches a certain temperature they just stop. I can be ironing and they will pop up then when I want them to pop up they won't.

I have no idea. This is the reason I sent it back and will not purchase another one.

The feet on my Oliso retract, but the heat is minimal and very little steam is produced. I have an older Black and Decker that puts this one to shame and I use it all the time. Only wish I hadn't been swayed by the retractable feet...not much use if it doesn't get hot or steam. Sorry you have had about as much luck as I have!

My Oliso died when it nose dived off the ironing board. Otherwise I really liked the iron. It heated quickly, and the auto off did its thing, it only took a touch to the handle to bring it back to the heat setting. It steamed really well, my only complaint was that it did spit water once in awhile, but after researching other irons I am thinking I should have used spring water instead of my hard tap water.

Interesting, my feet retract as soon as I take hold of the handle. I'd contact the manufacturer or amazon about returning the iron.

That happened to me when I first started using the iron. I find that if I turn it to Off for just a few seconds and turn it on again, it works properly and consistently. The longer I use it, the better I like it.

Clear Value Deals: Could be a faulty iron. I received my iron and it works perfectly fine. The feet should only retract when you grab and release the handle while plugged in. Hope this was helpful. www.shop.clearvaluedeals.com

You might try rebooting the unit by taking out the batteries for a few minutes and then re-inserting. Be sure to re-zero the scale afterwards (and any time after you move it), and that it's on a hard surface (not carpet, for example).

The frame itself does not move while occupied, the "feet" have rubber stoppers attached. If you do not have a frame to put frame into the mattress slides .. there are no stoppers for holding the mattress in place.

Yes I'm having the same problem also with the elephant model. tried to get the bottom off to look inside but it was not detatching around the feet and I couldn't figure out how to get it off. Unfortunately I'm a little past my warranty.

I was surprised mine leaned back. Usually these simple computer chairs don't do that. It doesn't lean back to the point I fall though. Check knob underneath and turn one way, lean back, then turn the other way and lean back. If that doesn't fix it, retighten all screws with allen wrench. Still doesn't work then something is faulty.

The top spins off the base. If it has been awhile it is probably stuck on the sealing surface of the base...good luck

No that should not be happening. If it is there is a problem.It should spring back to its zero position.

I have only had mine since May and it was worked great. Now it suddenly won't move. Any ideas what could be wrong?

It runs automatically for 15 minutes without having to push the pedals, but keeping the feet in the pedals and the legs straight would be a problem I think. For use with a partially paralyzed man, I have to place it up against a wall so it doesn't move all over the floor, use a gait belt around his thighs to keep his legs from splaying, and it takes awhile to get his feet secure in the pedals. They still slip out on occasion. Shoes and barefoot didn't work, so we use slippers. It's not an easy set-up.

You have to manually slide the arms around the base. It may be a little stiff, but three of the arms should move.

I have had this same thing happen to me after only ONE WEEK! Same answer.....tighten spring, re-install. This issue gives you an impression that these units are not made well!

Bring the foot rest all of the way up manually, it will click, then push it down all the way and ratchet it back up in increments. This is just like your lawn chair lounges, same concept. It doesn't lock, it goes up all the way, then down to the bottom and ratchets up to straight again, until it reaches the top then it automatically goes down for the slow return up. Hope that helped.

Hummmm. I never had the rewind issue though I'm always concerned with any "great" feature going bad. You could try pulling the 24ft cord all the way out then see if it re-catches on the retract feature. Could be that a spring mechanism un-sprung (if thats how it works). I believe the rewind assembly portion can be detached, then either repaired or replaced (replaceable part I think). OR It could be the rewind lever function (I mean the press-down lever itself). There IS a 1 year limited warrenty though I have'nt read the details and returning it might prove a hassle. Good luck!

Thanks for your post - I just tried it now and it works! I had always thought it would break if I force it up because it seemed to be really stuck. But since you described how to do it I was more confident, and it now works! thanks again

Ours does that as well. It should stop after a few minutes. I believe there is an explanation for that in the owners guide, it is something that is expected to occur.

Hi Kev,If you can provide me with pictures I can help you. I haven't done this in a while, but you should not need to use ANY force what so ever. If you are using force you are completely doing it wrong.

Mine did that a few times. It seems to have corrected itself. They say not to hold down the button longer than one second unless using it on someone. I chalked mine up to my overuse. No permanent damage though. Good luck
