GE Steam/Dry Iron replacement cord
Hello!
I have a GE Iron that is probably 40 years old, Model # H8F92, I have searched many sites to find a replacement cord to no avail (the cord started getting really hot).
Has anyone had any luck replacing the cord on an iron, especially a GE brand?
I know that JoAnn's has the Olisio on sale right now, I am partial to my GE.
Thanks,
Julie

Do you know an electrician who could change it for you? Mine had a little
problem because I was standing my iron up until the cord got damaged.
DH opened it and shortened it slightly just to remove the part that was
damaged. It's a bit tricky to do it and you would need crimp-on terminals
and a crimper.
Edit: You might want to buy an extension cord (12 amp) and chop
one end off. You will still need the crimp-on terminals to attach it
to your iron.
