I have a morphy richards 42254 model steam generator and it switches on fine steams fine too but has started switching off in the middle of ironing and it comes on again after a while can anybody help???

They have a switch built into the circuitry - a thermostatic switch nearly always with a tell-tale neon light - orange...

As it warms up the switch is closed and the light is on - then when it gets up to temperature the thermostatic switch opens - heating stops - the light goes out - things begin to cool down.

Then the switch closes and it all starts over again.
