    Fixed already. Somehow while servicing it they must have bumped into the shaft, twisting it a little to the left. I didn't even know the shaft was movable sideways. All good now!

    Thanks, Patti! I was hoping for something with a bigger ironing surface, but maybe that doesn't even exist, at least not for home use. I'll keep looking!
