SOURCE: Brand New Chi flat iron! No light, no heat, no

Have you checked it on different plug ins? I realize this sounds silly, but I had the same problem once and had a fit...all to find out my plug in had tripped. Bathrooms usually have those plugs that have the little button to reset the current. Maybe if you try that and different plugs.... If not, I would take it back as it is obviously defective. May have a bad connection, short, bad fuse, etc, and you would not want it anyway because it would not be safe.

Try resetting it. Sometimes that can fix the problem. Make sure it's not a damaged cord. If it is, let me know and I can help you out with it. If it's not that, depending on how long you've had it, you can probably return it for another one.

When the flat iron does not heat up, it is usually the ceramic fuse that is located under one of the heating elements. I fixed my daughter;s CHI flat iron for $1.97 with a ceramic fuse I bought at Radio Shack.

Chi flat iron!

My chi doesn't have a dial for heat. When you flip the on/off switch it heats up. You cannot turn heat lower or higher. Just turn it off if it gets too hot.

CHI Flat Iron GF-1001

I have bought thermal fuses from DigiKey. They have various temperature ratings. If you have a multimeter or ohmmeter you can check to see if the fuse still has continuity. If the iron sometimes works, it's not the fuse. Cords are the most common problem, but if it was plugged into a 220V I'm not sure what might have gotten fried. There is a small IC in there too, for temp control or something: if it's fried you are SOL. Save it for parts though...

CHI Flat Iron GF-1001

Hello alexkuzin, searching for tech info of the Farouk CHI GF-1001 flat iron is slim to none. The HT-1
is the high side of the 120v and COM-1 is neutral. The TNR will be the thermal resistor for temp regulation. If your 'burned element' is broken anywhere but at the terminal "sorry charlie" you are SOL. The TNR is in series with the heating element and if this is 'burned element" finding a replacement will be difficult. Contact your local appliance/electronics parts store. Oh,how did you insert a 120v plug in to a 220v outlet?
