Hi I have a Braun CareStyle 5 iron, which has developed a fault, It omits steam as soon as it warms up and will not stop unless you switch it off any idea's ?
I have the same issue, still looking for the root cause. So far i've fixed the microswitch, the valve and the electronics main board, the issue remains, so it's not coming from that.
I finally found what the issue was in my case. The problem was with the led indicator light on the iron (the one on the front, close to the buttons on the iron itself). This was shorted and was causing the electronics to latch the EV continuously when powered. I just removed the led and it's working fine. You just need to remove the white cable to the led on the screwed connector on the back of the iron, if you don't want to mess with disassembly the whole iron.
