Conair Infiniti Pro Model 259NP: Why does the hairdryer just stop working?

Tue, 29 Oct 2024 11:52:01 -0700

My mother was using the hairdryer and she said it just turned off and wouldn't turn back on. She can't figure out what is happening and I don't know anything about hairdryers, can someone please tell me what is wrong with it? Also, what can I do to make sure this not happen again, because my mom is very bad with these types of things and I live too far away to drive to help her every time this happens.

How do I fix my hot tools blow dryer? The cool shot button is stuck. I may have pushed the button too hard now it won't come back up, so cold air is the only thing flowing from my hairdryer.

Conair Infiniti Pro Model 259NP: Why is my air spin hair styler slowed down?

Wed, 21 Apr 2021 13:57:44 -0700

what happened:

My hair dryer-brush— an Infiniti Pro Conair Hot Air Spin Styler— used to spin at a high speed, but it slowed down recently.

what I did:

I opened the device, there was no hair clogged.

But the rotor did not spin fluently. Even it couldn't be spinned manually.

I tried to put some oil near the both ends of the rotor, it was of no help.

I couldn't remove the element barrel,as everything was pressed. Therefor I couldn't expose the rotor from the base.

What I want to ask:

How can I fix it's slowing down?

Thanks

Conair Cord-Keeper 169XR: What do these parts go?

Tue, 01 Dec 2015 00:20:56 -0700

When I opened up the Model 1691 Hair Dryer to clean accumulated dust out of the screens at the back of the Dryer Head, the two parts, which are shown on the attached picture, fell out. I could not figure out where to put them when I reassembled the drier. Everything seems to work okay without them. Any ideas?

(How do I attach or insert the picture here? I tried to to copy and paste the image but that does not work.)

Shark Hair Dryer: How to disassemble shark hyperair hair dryer?

Tue, 19 Aug 2025 12:06:25 -0700

Hi,

I have a Shark Hyperair hair dryer which has a problem with the power button that is responsible for powering on/off the hairdryer

the problem is that the hair dryer only works when I press the power button but do not make the button all the way up, i must put my hand and keep pressing the button to make it stay in the middle in order to work

This is a picture of the hairdryer and I did mark the power switch button with a red circle.

I've searched a lot for videos about how to disassemble the Shark Hyperair hair dryer and fix the problem but unfortunately, I didn't find any video

I'm trying to find out how to disassemble that hair dryer and fix the power button in the proper way

I would appreciate it if anyone could give me some advice about how I should fix the power button

Thanks in advance.

Conair Infiniti Pro Model 259NP: Dryer randomly won’t turn on

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 12:57:48 -0700

Hey there! My dryer had been working fine for years, and suddenly when I plugged it in, it wouldn’t turn on. I’ve reset both the outlet and the dryer itself, but still nothing will turn on. I’ve seen some posts suggesting it might be a fuse, but they never elaborated where to buy a replacement or how to install it. I have a specialty screwdriver set to take it apart, but I wanted to know a little bit more about how and what to troubleshoot and where to find replacement parts (that isn’t Amazon), before I got started. Thanks in advance!
