Irons Spare Parts
Choose your Manufacturer
When your iron begins to under-perform, using the correct spare parts is essential to restore performance and extend lifespan. At Yourspares we provide a wide selection of dedicated spare parts for irons — including steam irons, dry irons and generator irons — such as replacement water tanks, heating elements, power cables, pressure valves and anti-scale cartridges. Using correctly matched spare parts ensures proper fit and compatibility with your iron’s model, preventing damage, leaks or inconsistent heating. For example, a worn water tank might cause steaming issues, while a faulty heating element can reduce soleplate temperature and efficiency. To choose the right part, identify your iron’s make and exact model number, and verify compatibility information before ordering. Regular maintenance — including descaling, checking the power lead and replacing worn parts — helps maintain optimal performance and safety. Whether you’re servicing a domestic iron or a professional steam-generator model, sourcing the correct spare parts from Yourspares ensures reliable operation, reduces downtime and protects your investment.

Q1: How do I verify the spare part fits my iron?
A1: Identify the iron’s exact make and model number (often found on the base or label). Then check the part’s product listing for compatibility information listed by Yourspares. Matching model series and part reference ensures proper fit.
Q2: How often should I replace parts like heating elements or valves in an iron?
A2: Usage determines frequency. For high-use models, consider inspecting annually; for domestic use inspect every 12-18 months. Replace heating elements or valves when you notice degraded performance or visible wear.
Q3: Can I use a universal spare part instead of a branded one?
A3: Yes — many universal parts are viable alternatives provided they match the required specifications (voltage, dimensions, connection type). Confirm fit & compatibility via Yourspares before purchasing to maintain safety and performance.

DeLonghi/Jura Coffee Machine Flow Meter
Straight swap for Sage Barista Express
I took a punt on this part even though my model wasn't listed as compatible. Sage Barista Express BES870UK/A. This is a 6 year old unit and the only thing wrong with it is the automatic dosing. I swapped this replacement flowmeter and it now works perfectly as it did the day we bought it. Very easy swap. Even the little plastic locators fit into the holes provided in the machine. Incidentally the part I pulled has the same number as provided by ufixit but I hadn't opened the machine before ordering. Thanks!
