Genuine Tefal Rowenta Steam Generator Iron Microswitch CS00118361
Genuine Tefal Rowenta Steam Generator Iron Microswitch CS00118361
If pressing the steam button on your steam generator iron no longer releases steam, or the steam will not stop, the small microswitch under the button is a common cause. This is the genuine steam microswitch, part number CS00118361, for selected Tefal, Rowenta, Calor and Moulinex steam generator irons. It is a 2-tag, normally open switch, and fitting a new one brings back on-demand steam when you press the button.
Product Details
- Product Type: Steam control microswitch
- Main Part Number / MPN: CS00118361
- Contacts: 2 tag terminals, normally open
- Part Category: Iron switches
- Appliance Types: Steam generator irons (steam stations)
- Brand Compatibility: Selected Tefal, Rowenta, Calor and Moulinex steam generator irons
- Part Type: Genuine Original Part
- Pack Includes: 1 x steam microswitch
What This Part Does
The steam button on the iron handle presses this microswitch. Because the switch is normally open, the circuit only closes while the button is held down, which signals the base station to send steam to the soleplate. Heavy daily use wears the internal contacts, so the switch can stop closing, close only now and then, or stick closed.
Common Fault Symptoms
- No steam when you press the steam button, even though the base is heated and ready
- Steam comes and goes, or only works if you press the button very hard
- Steam keeps flowing after you release the button
- The steam button feels loose or no longer clicks

Repair Difficulty
Moderate. The switch sits inside the iron handle under the steam button. You will need to open the handle casing and move the two wire connections across to the new switch in the same positions. Take a photo before you disconnect anything.
Typical Tools Required
- Screwdriver to open the handle (some models use Torx or security screws)
- Small flat screwdriver or thin pliers for the tag connectors
- Phone camera to record the wiring before removal
Description
The switch has two tag terminals and is normally open, which matches the original steam switch fitted to these irons. Before ordering, check the model number on the rating label under your base station and compare your old switch with the photos.
Steam generator irons hold pressurised hot water. Unplug the iron and leave it to cool completely, and release any remaining pressure, before you open the handle. If you are unsure your model uses this switch, send us the model number and we will check it for you.
