My one stopped working due to the thermal (not electrical) fuse blowing. There was quite a bit of corrosion inside the iron including the thermostat, so I guess that it over heated melting the wax in the thermal fuse, so this safety feature worked.
Normally I just replace the thermal fuse, if all looks fine, but this iron was beyond a safe repair.

Could be a manufacturing fault with these.
Two new Russell Hobbs 15081s have failed on me this year.
