    THE HAIR DRYER
    How does it work ?

    • An electric hair dryer produces an instant blast


    of hot air, warm, or even cool air to help dry and
    style hair.
    What Can Go Wrong ?

    • Because hair dryers are simple small


    appliances, few things can go wrong. The
    electric cord may be faulty, the appliance may
    not heat, and the fan may not operate. Below
    the failure of hair dryer and how to solve it.
     
    How to Repair a Hair Dryer?

    • Hair dryers are inexpensive objects. If you


    have a faulty hair dryer, however, there are
    some things you can check before you
    purchase a brand new one. There is no use
    wasting your hard earned money when you
    can easily fix something yourself. Learn how to
    complete repairs on a faulty hair dryer.
    Things You'll Need :

    • Screwdriver
    • Hand-held vacuum
    • Canned air
    Instructions
    1. Unplug the hair dryer. Grab the nozzle of the
    hair dryer with one hand while you grab the
    body with your other hand. Pull the nozzle
    away from the hair dryer body. Most of the
    time these are held by a snug fit. There are
    some models, however, that are held
    together with a screw. If there is a screw,
    remove it first.
     
    2. Vacuum the screen filter with a hand held
    vacuum. The screen filter can become
    clogged. When it gets clogged, the heating
    element and motor get too hot and the
    thermostat inside the hair dyer forces the
    appliance to turn off.
    3. Unscrew the rest of the screws on the body of
    the hair dryer and pull them apart. Now you
    can easily see the rest of the hair dryer
    components. The motor, switches, and fan
    should all be visible.
     
    4. Eye each component to see if you can visibly
    see any defaults or obstructions. Since hair
    dryers aren't too complex, most problems will
    be fairly easy to spot. Anything like clumped
    hair or melted plastic will be obvious.
    5. Spray canned air around the elements to
    remove dust and debris. Take special care,
    however, not to blow the pressurized air on
    the wire heaters. These wires are very delicate
    and could become damaged with the strong
    air stream.
     
    6. Place the hair dryer back together, put the
    screws back in, and retry. If your simple
    repairing skills don't work, simply purchase a
    new hair dryer.
     
    What if the motor does not run?
     

    • First check the cord. Make sure it is not


    damaged. If so, replace it. Check the outlet,
    make sure the circuit was not tripped.
    • Then, check the switch. You will need to
    remove the housing by taking off the screws.
    Then, take the switch and brush out any lint or
    dust. Spray the switch with contact cleaner. If
    this doesn't work, move on.
    • Your motor could be jammed. Again, remove the
    housing away from the motor, and lubricate it. Apply
    a drop of lightweight household oil to the bushing at
    each end of the motor.
    • If none of these things work, your safety plug might
    be tripped. This would only happen if it is really
    humid. The safety switch shuts down the dryer when
    the dryer comes in contact with water. It is a safety
    feature to prevent electrocutions. If this has
    happened, call you manufacturer. They will have to
    tell you how to turn it back on.
