Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The heating element in the Revlon 473 is a coiled nichrome wire around insulated board. This repair would resolve hot air expulsion from the appliance. CAUTION: risk of potential electric shock due to live wires and damaged insulation. Be aware of sharp edges in the nichrome wire and board. Be sure to isolate your power source.
