Fahrenheit FHT 125PRMR: Why is my fahrenheit flat iron not heating up?

Tue, 23 May 2023 00:07:57 -0700

One of the heating pads on my Fahrenheit Flat Iron is not heating up. I have plugged it in to several different outlets to make sure it wasn't the outlet that was causing the problem. How could I fix this problem without having to replace the whole unit?

Flat Iron: What logic board component is this?

Mon, 09 Mar 2015 01:39:44 -0700

I am currently trying to resurrect a relatively expensive hair straightener. It is a Croc Infrared Titanium Ceramic 1.5-inch Flat Iron. Upon disassembly of the logic board, I did find an obvious burned out component. It does look like a resistor, but does not quite fit the pattern. It is 9.6mm in length, which would make it 1/2 watt. The part that does not look like a resistor are the ring markings. From what is left it looks like:

Black

Grey

third ring not clearly identifiable due to damage

Black

In the normal resistor world, the third ring would be the multiplier, the fourth the tolerance. Black is not an option for that. So anybody have an idea what I got here? Anybody have a flat iron apart to let me know what component I am looking at? I did try to find any schematic or diagram without success. Thanks for the help.

UPDATE

Any chance this could be a capacitor? I do know that some of them use ring markings as well.

Update Hope this is a better picture.

Hot Tools Professional Black Gold Evolve: Power Cord broke, how to open case and replace cable

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 11:20:56 -0700

I’ve noticed that the power cord connector on my flat iron is loose, causing the power to cut out when the cord is moved into certain positions. I attempted to disassemble the flat iron to fix it, but I couldn't figure out how to open the casing.

Does anyone have experience with this or know the best way to take it apart?

Thanks in advance!

Dyson Hair Straightener: Dyson Corrale Run Time

Mon, 06 Jan 2025 14:12:20 -0700

I am having an issue with the run time on my Dyson Corrale. It has been slowly getting worse. Currently, full charged and plugged in, I only get about 20 sec of run time. I then have to turn it off an back on again to get another 20 sec. Any suggestions on if I can fix this myself as Dyson is no help? Seems to be a sensor issue since it does show as fully charged.

Hi my GHD flat iron straighteners seem to be losing heat. They don't seem to be as hot as when I first purchased them. I don't use any products when straightening my hair & they are less than 18 months old? Any suggestions or is it a case of buying a new pair?
