Hello,
A couple of weeks ago I was asking about repairing a steam iron. The thermal fuse had blown but I found these were available from the manufacturer quite cheaply. I never got round to ordering one because the old one is rusted in place. It is screwed into a metal box containing the iron element with a Philips screw. the screw has rusted. When I tried to unscrew it, it broke the head off the screwdriver!
SWMBO has a new iron now, and I think I will bin this one but what tricks should I use in the future? I have heard of left handed screw extractors but heard that they are not very good. I was also weary of drilling it out for fear of damaging whatever was below.
Thanks in advance.
