I think I just killed my hairdrier. How do I fix it?

Question

I just held my hairdrier a bit too close to my head, and it suddenly stopped working. Short of going out and buying a new one, how can I fix it?

Answer 1

It may just need to cool. Many hairdryers are designed with this safety feature. Unless you saw smoke and smelled that weird electrical fire smell. Otherwise, your motor is shot. Now if you have air and no heat, then it's the heating element. Now, if you have a motor or heating element handy your ready to go. Otherwise just let it cool down. If that doesn't work.....Let's go shopping.

Answer 2

<> Just because something it legal doesn't mean it's right. <> There's a reason you can't spell 'assume' without '***'. People who assume too much end up making asses of themselves. < murder, how come?>> Doesn't make sense, does it - and yet, there you are advocating people merely ASSUME the government is right! <> WRONG! <> Ad hominem attacks hurt your credibility. Perhaps Marc, like me, doesn't see too much in the way of credibility when reading your question. < is NOT murder.>> The term "fetus" literally means "the young in the womb". The fetus IS a living human being. Life begins at conception, not birth nor some arbitrary point in between. Therefore, every abortion constitutes the murder of an unborn human being. <> But the fetus IS human. Therefore, abortion IS murder. < and stupid imagination.>> What's so narrow minded about acknowledging the unborn for the living human beings they are? Since you're unable to do that, wouldn't that suggest your mind is in fact more narrow than mine? < person NOT two.>> That just goes to show how schizophrenic human institutions can be - and you want to ASSUME such an institution (the government) is right.

Answer 3

It blew a fuse sounds like you need to buy a new one. You cant fix a hairdyer.

Answer 4

You can't fix a broken hairdryer. Go buy a new one and be more careful.

Answer 5

I think it is too hot...when you hear a little click...it will be ready again. I think you should get a new one though, because if it is getting hot enough to quit...could be dangerous. Good Luck

Answer 6

sometimes that happens if the hairdrier gets overheated, it will just stop working. you can wait a little while until it cools down and it will probably work again.
