20 Most Recent Conair Professional Ceramic Hair Straightener - Black Questions & Answers

i have the exact same problem !

This type of home appliance is not repaired, so you will have to replace it.

see that happened to me u just have to thro it away and get a new one trust me it wont work again 3 of my family memeber r butician hair ppl or whatever salonist wehatevea u wanna call them so i get free straightener hair dryers and stuff so i dont have to worry :)

Small Appliance Repair shop may be able to help, but probably best and more economical to just replace. If money is a factor to replace, check local thrift stores for a used one.

that same thing is happening to me! but iv had mine for almost 2 years...exact same hair straightener, its happening to many people! i dont know if this is the problem but alot of people wrap their cords around their straighteners (i did too) and it twists the cord that conects to the hair straightener and makes it loose. i still have not found a way to solve this problem.

i would just go out and buy a new one, and if your looking for good but inexpensive i suggest vidal sassoon. they get really hot and have many settings and many different types. mine has worked greats

just remember not to wrap the cord

The heating element is broken. This is caused by dropping or banging the device.

This is a job for one with a multimeter and soldering iron. Remove the temperature knob and the plate below that. It will expose the inside of the top half of the Straightener. You will see two set of red and black wires soldered to a green circuit board. See if the soldering are intact and no wire has come loose . Now unsolder the red wires ( please note which wire goes where ). With the multimeter in the Ohms range ( X100 ) touch the probes on the red and black wires each and check for continuity. The red and black wires are two ends of the ceramic heaters. If they have failed , replace .

Most heated hair appliances are protected by a thermistor that will fail if overheated. These are small, about 1/2" long, cylindrical in shape with a pointy end and a wire coming from each end. When they go bad, they do not conduct electricity (zero ohms on a meter). There is a three digit number on the side that is the shutoff temperature. You can get these at Radio Shack.

Don't bypass this safety device.

no,, no..no.. and a big no,, it realy wont do it any good at all,,,it will only harm it in the long term
and stop putting your self down,,,there are plenty of people in the world who will get a sick kind of kick out of doing this for you,,,and they do it for free,,,,
