How do I get my iron (Rowenta DX1700 Effective) fixed?

I have a Rowenta DX 1700 Effective iron that is in need of service. Where do I go for service? There must be a disconnection in the cord because it won't stay on. The light goes off and on with movement of the cord.

Is it doing it near the plug or near the handle of the Iron?
Either way, you could [unplugged] cut the cord and recess
it or cut the plug and put a new one on it.
Most likely it is a broken wire close to the handle, where
it comes out of the little rubberthingy, cause thats where
it moves the most. You can prolly do it with a screwdriver and a knife or scizzers.
Open up the iron and see where the cord comes in, usually
2 wires are either on screw terminals or connectors from the cord. The strainrelease , that rubberthingy might be part of th
cord, I`d take it out, cut the cord 3 inches shorter and one could use electrical tape or ducttape to jerry rig it.
anyways,, you get the Idea, they might sell a new cord at the dealer. You might buy a new Iron for 9.95 at.....
