I agree with the first answerer. Make sure the unit is plugged into an appropriate, working, voltage converter and a live electric socket. Mine's about a year old and working great. I might buy an additional unit.

Check the voltage for the country as others have suggested. If not the same as U.S, you could also purchase a transformer/converter that would transform the voltage what is needed.

It's been 3 weeks, I have been using it everyday without converter. It works all fine, at least for now. Steam looks fine, and not bubbly. The body of steamer has never get warmer or hot. It would be dangerous and cause damage on the steamer, and that has been my concern. US has higher voltage 110V that includes 100V to 125V. I though have a converter, and I don't use it since it turns off after a few min. Now I realized that I should look for a right converter. I will ask Panasonic for the answer. I will post it whatever I found out regarding the question. Thank you for asking! Answer from Panasonic in Japan: They say the product is used in Japan only and even using a converter would cause damage to the product. They don't make converter cannot cannot recommend any 3rd party products for their own. Oh well.. liability issue. Warranty won't be covered, anyway. We are basically using it at own risk. It would splash hot water, cause fire, just die after short while... I asked a converter maker which converter would be good for this steamer. They suggested one with max out put capacity 1000W. $57+ shipping $16 http://www.voltage-converter-transformers.com/product_info.php?category_id=10016468&products_id=10060414 As I researched, max out put capacity for converter should be 25% more than the product. http://buyersguide.bargainoffers.com/voltage_guide.shtml This steamer is 290 Watt, so I chose a converter with max 500W output. Here is what I ordered from Amazon. VCT VT-500J - Japanese Step Up/Down Voltage Transformer Converts Japan 100 Volts To 110V OR Vice Versa - 500 Watt $35.08 Super Saver Free Shipping http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PC4JL4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 If you don't want to invest extra, get another steamer that is made for US. Although the concern was always somewhere in my head, I was in denial. Now I feel safe and enjoy my steamer! Thank you for your question!

You can try it, worse case just send it back, but I don't think it will work. Maybe you could see if you can mount it on your meter. It's a very helpful tool.

you need to make shure that you plug the ground wire into the ground side of the tester mine gave the Error code when i first got it as well but then i read the veary fine instructions on the back. they realy are small to read but you need to make sure to fine the ground side and then go from there.

Need more info. Do you have the unit connected to anything else before you hook it up to the battery. If not, you most likely have a short somewhere, in other words, a bad unit. Send it back for a replacement and maybe even think about going up to the next larger size inverter for your needs. Better to have too much than not enough.

You might email the seller but it sounds like it was your fault. Your best bet is to buy a power supply that works in your country.

You may want to look in to the voltage problem also. This runs on the 110 voltage.

I can only echo other comments, no sounds when changing light modes. You might Try plugging it into a different electrical socket that is on a different circuit. This would rule out voltage problems I think. Good luck.

I have used many of these switches on several of my tools, both 110v and 220v. I have had none of them fail in the manner you describe. I can only suggest that it is a defective unit, or you may have wired it wrong (but that is unlikely). Just to check your work, you did replace your drill press switch with this one, right? I mean, you are not trying to use both switches, right?

I have been using my scale plugged in. So I tried with a 9 volt battery and it worked fine. Try a new battery. I tried it with the plug attached and not. Worked either way for me. Good luck!

My girlfriend took one back to a 220V/50Hz country and it did NOT work. Still working on a solution...

I was curios if you were able to resolve your problem? I'm in the same situation. I got this machine from Europe last week. I tried three different converters, no luck.

Hi, I think you need a convertor. It should be very cheap from the local hardware store.

I'm using the converter. The manual says to use it. It's an expensive gadget and converter is pretty cheap. I don't wanna take a chance of breaking it.
