Philips Azur auto switch off is not working blue light flashes twice
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- This seems to be a common issue with the Philips Azure irons. When the auto off circuit fails, then the blue light flashes and the iron does not work. This video explains how you can remove that faulty circuit and use the iron without the auto-off function. It takes only 30 mins max to fix it DIY.
I normally don't produce videos in English, I apologies for the mistakes :) Nevertheless, I hope you will find the video useful.
Excellent, thanks for this. Just fixed my iron.
One concern I had was to be sure that the circuit was not fulfilling the role of current amplification - i.e. whether the signal from the thermostat was being passed via the relay on the circuit board. This might mean that the thermostat contacts were not rated to handle the current. However, a bit of inspection of the wiring through the amber potting compound reassured me...
Incidentally my model only had LEDs on the circuit board, so I made my own capacitive LED driver.
Thanks for video, if the wires are too short you can open the back and tuck in there, just make sure they not exposed. When I opened the back I was also able to remove the calc residue...there was a lot.
Thanks for the info!
Hi there,this came into our repair cafe today,and sounded like open circuit element.
Clearly not,and not on IFIXIT either.
Carried out and voila.
Thank You vey much.
One less item for landfill.
I am happy to hear that it helped 🙂
I did it and it worked. I did not understand why and how as I do not have schematic, but still it worked.
Thank you. I have money to buy a new iron, but I hate throwing out things than can be fixed.
P.S. It is easier to connect wires if you unscrew back panel and connect the wires there.
Thanks for the feedback. I am sure it will help others. Cheers!
My Philips Azure Pro had similar problem. Fixed it following your video guidelines. Thank you very much.
I am glad to hear that it helped.
Thanks a bunch, it helped me. I noticed the auto shut off circuit was a bit wet so I wonder if that has caused damage. Can you please though not skip putting it back together, had a bit of issues doing it.
Thanks alot men, you just saved me time and made me money, it's perfectly.... You just earned a sub..
Thank you, worked for me but it was easier to remove the based to get access to the wires than the top.
for those who think the cables are too short after cutting them from the auto-off circuit, you can pull gently to get more cable from inside the iron body, like 1cm per cable.

Just did this now and it worked. The colours of the wires were different and the length of the wires were very short. It made the fix very tough, ideally try use a solder, I didn't have one so I just used electrical crimps and that seems ok I guess
Did you have a black wire? If so did you also tape this up?
@@alisonreeves7414 mine was grey. Basically the 2 key wires are a bit thicker than the ground wire. The other one I just clipped and put a bit of tape at the very end of it.
i have the philips Azure advanced model, the blue light comes on and flashes continously but the iron does not heat up, do you think it could be the thermal swich that has a problem?
It looks like a similar issue. But I don't know how to test if the auto-switch-off circuit is faulty.
I did just like that.
It works perfectly
Thank you!
Thanks for reporting that this little trick worked for you.
AWESOME !!! Thanks a LOT for this video ! 👍👍👍
What if the blue light flashes just once?
I followed the steps and it's still not heating up
Easy fix indeed - thanks, works great :D
Cheers 🥂
I have a grey, red and brown wire. Which one to connect and which one to tape up?
It's shown in the video.
I have a Philips azure with this problem but mist be a slightly different model as there is no screw to remove the blue cover. There is one much deeper inside but not easily accessible
I guess the manufacturer keeps changing the design. My model is not available on the market any more, but from the comments I understand that many people are still experiencing issues with the auto-shut-off circuitry of Azure.
How can i connect white, gray and brown
Thanks. It worked!
Thanks Philip. Your confirmation will encourage others! 🙂
I connected white, grey and brown kabels together i'ts working 😀 thank's
Thanks for letting us know how you got it working 🙂 Cheers 🍺
I have a black wire also. What do I do with it?
It looks like you have a different model. Wire color codes differ from region to region www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/reference/chpt-2/wiring-color-codes-infographic/
I am not sure what you should do with the black wire, but if both black and blue are neutral in your region, then I *guess* you can try to connect it to the blue wire (neutral). Stay safe and good luck!
I have the same model of iron. I am facing a problem that while turning the iron on there is a sound which is like a short circuit sound and then the machine works fine. I tried opening it from the back side but couldn’t understand the complex wiring. Can you help me out in it?
With the back cover open, do you see any electric arc caused by the short circuit?
@@benceler. no there was no visible spark. However there was a slightly running white paste on two of the wires. I though it was there since the start so didn’t touch it. But i checked with a tester there was current in the bottom heating plate inside area.
@@benceler. i though may be it could be due to moisture build up. I blow dried the wiring area and then closed it back up. 1-2 starts were fine however again problem came back. The current in the heating plate inner area in still there.
I suggest visually checking if any wires are close to each other. You can try to place a thick plastic seperator between the wires or electric insulation tape to avoid short circuit. Also check the calc built up around the rubber gasket of calc filter at the back. The water might be leaking into the electric circuitry from there.
@@benceler. thanks for the help. I will check it again. Can you please tell if the current in the base plate is a normal phenomenon or not. Because in the base the only place current is not present is the complete bottom side which is coated light blue.
I have philips GC2998, its blinking twice and not turning on,can u help me?
Have you checked the user guide for fault indicators? What kind of fault is it?
@@benceler. iron is not heating up, only auto on/off light is blinking, and thats it
@@hibahuda6065did you later fix it
Aynı olayı yaptım maalesef olmadı ışık yanmadı ve isitmadi
Kartı tamamen iptal mi ettin?
Evet, o bozuk "otomatik kapatma" sensorünü kesip attık.
I just did exactly what u did and the iron doesn’t work at all now
A few people confirmed that they repaired their irons following the video.
The same thing happened with me
Just have this problem with my own iron
I have red, brown and grey
@@jozz2i have the same color combination , red and grey together (or on one side) and brown on the other side, what did you do? did you connected red and brown and left grey off and insulated it?
@@inkpot999 i cutted gray and conected the others. And it worked.
@@jozz2thanks , I did the same but it tripped (shorted) the circuit and I left it at that and had to get new iron :)
@@inkpot999 sorry (this video skip the most important part)😞
The warning that the Auto-Off function is disabled is only mentioned as a little side note. I find it dangerous to suggest something like this without a proper disclaimer!
Dislike the video.
Thanks for your feedback, however it is clearly stated in both the description text and in the video that the iron will not have the auto-off function anymore. It cannot be missed unless someone does not read the description AND watch the video while the volume is turned off. Hopefully people will either read or listen 🙂
Also I am not sure if the circuit also include some protection circuit other then auto shutdown.
What else do you suspect?
@@benceler. It seem to me there is a temperature sensor and IC/transistors circuit on the board. I think os risky to bypass it.
