My Philips iron sizzles when I place it on its heel

Published on 2021-07-04

When your Philips iron produces a sizzling noise when you place it on its heel, find out here why this happens.

A sizzling noise is normal

It is normal for your Philips iron to produce a sizzling noise when you place it on its heel. It is the sound of water coming into contact with the soleplate’s steam chamber walls.

Do not worry: the performance of your iron is not affected at all by this.
