Dyson HD02 thermal fuse part 1 of 4

Bought this Dyson HD02 Hairdryer from eBay which was listed as not working.
I’ve already removed the heating element and circuit
Board assembly from the handle assembly. The issue being one of the Thermal fuses has blown, when this happens I change both of them.
This is yet another series of videos involving the Dyson hairdryers

Any reason why you changed both fuses when one was bad? What fuse did you use? Is it 184C 10A?

The reason I do both fuses at the same time is, why I’m actually there doing one, the hassle of actually getting to them in the first place it’s better to just swap them both out as a preventative measure more than anything else. None of the fuses were changed from manufacture and I’m guessing it was around 4-5 years old and don’t know the history of the hairdryer and they do get a lot of stick constantly. If the previous owner had rested the hairdryer down on the ‘hot’ end while switched on then the fuse(s) will blow, maybe one or both, either way it’s a strain on both of them. 👍

The fuse rating is a 185C x 10amp.

@@adampoplewski1329 yeah that’s the same specs as the original one BUT I’m not condoning you to do any repairs. My video is just for entertainment only and not a repair video to do the same as me. But yeah it’s the same thermal fuse specs as the one I replaced. 👍
