ghd-repair.co.uk - GHD Thermal Fuse Replacement

[@danhudson4614]

Thanks just repaired 5.0 model with your guide very informative and they are back working like a charm, great job ..keeps the Mrs happy thumbs up!! P.S the fuse I used was the same size as ghd fuse off amazon less than a fiver, Thanks again!

Danke für die Anleitung! Hat super geklappt. Glätteisen funktioniert wieder !

Hi...thanks for the video...can the 2 wires go on any side. Or is it a specific wire for the left and specific on the right?

[@rosco4659]

Top man! I thought it was the switch at first, she will be pleased. They packed in as she was half way through her hair, all I could do is laugh.

my thermal fuse is blown and heaters both measure 68 ohms. what do you suppose? both elements need replacing and thermal fuse?

[@joaomiguellopezramirez5794]

Hello good, watch my plate I give light and turns and a constant beep and the light will start to Flash and does not heat anything. Now if I warm up a little ceramic with hands or divider works well, creaks a bit a ceramic. As this very cold makes it beep hot works perfectly. I hope that you can solve it, a greeting and thanks!

Nice Insulated Screwdriver you are using there!! Thanks for informative Vid x

Hi i just have l questions, l already broke the clip wchich holds the termar fuse what can l do in this case? Can l leave it like this? Or attached with glue or something else?

[@garyewer4095]

Check out ghd-repair.co.uk/shop for spare parts. You need to make sure the thermal fuse is in good contact with the heater else it won't do its job. Gary

Excellent tutorial - thanks!

i replaced the thermal fuse on my partners ghds but only the main plate is heating up/smoking but turned it off before fuse failed... do you think the secondary plate has failed?

[@Ghd-repairCoUk]

There isn't really a primary and secondary. Just two heaters connected in parallel. If one of them has failed, then the irons won't work properly and the thermal fuse may well be tripped. The heaters should measure 35 ohms when both connected in parallel, or 70 ohms when disconnected. See www.ghd-repair.co.uk for loads of advice on how to fix your irons.

Hi can you please help me ... I have a ghd Mk5 model I replaced the thermal fuse and it's still not switching on I tested the resistors R8 and R11 they were fine i tested the plates they were fine i tested the main cable that's fine so i can't see what else can be the problem .. Will you please be so kind to give me advice at what else might be the cause cos now currently it's not switching on no beeping sound nothing I checked everything that are usually the problems PLEASE HELP ME.Thank you for your videos 😄🥰

My wife has a pair of GHD 3.1B. When switched on the LED flickers on and off and there is a crackling sound as if something is arcing inside. Is this likely to be a faulty thermal fuse?

[@Healprincess]

Can this be done to ghd V Wonderland? My thermal fuse is also broke and I am looking to buy this GHD 240V Thermal Fuse from Amazon... Please reply as soon as possible, thank you!

Hi mark which ones in that video are the jam ilia editions

[@DEFENDINGELVISPRESLEY]

Great video ,very helpful,thanks

[@owenstoodstill]

Is it possible to repair the eclipse model ?

[@Russhopson]

is the orange tape/plastic part essential? I have replaced my fuse, but no longer have the orange film/plastic. It appears that the fuse is cutting out before they reach optimum temp. I cant measure the temp or voltage, but this is what I think is happening as they cut out before the LED should start flashing.

[@Ghd-repairCoUk]

The orange kapton tape provides secondary insulation for safety reasons. It is there incase the thermal fuse escapes the potting and touches the metal clip which would make the heater plate live (and therefore dangerous). What model are your GHDs? Does the light go out completely? Have you seen our fault finding guide? www.ghd-repair.co.uk/guides Gary

hy,can you know what the problem for ghd platinum light isues?

[@plutonhouse]

thanks Trevor, great job!

[@winstonbanks1057]

Hi Trevor I wonder if you can help me I just purchased some 5.0 Jamlia limited edition now they don't turn on and I think thermal fuse has gone are they all the same to change

[@Ghd-repairCoUk]

Hi Winston, Yes - the method is basically the same for all mk3, mk4 and mk5 models. The only other reason the mk5s would not come on is if the R8 or R11 resistor has gone open circuit. Regards, Gary

[@Juanrabioso]

Hi Trev, amazing videos, thanks a lot. I'm a little bit noob, and i wonder about this 5.0 unit. First of all i replaced a burned out resistor (around 50Ohm +-), then the unit still was dead. then i saw your videos and got a fresh thermistor and replaced the old one by that new one, then i got only one side of the hair straightener getting hot, and the side of the thermal fuse cold, so i think my thermal fuse is gone as well. My question is, how can i check the thermal fuse before buying a new one? i dont even care about the prize of the thing, it is just that i would love to know how do i check the thermal fuse of that thing, what test should i perform, what reading should i be getting and stuff. Thanks you very much for your videos again, i would have never been to the point where i am now by myself. my electronics level is still low, as you can read here. Thank you very much.

+JuanramÁn Hi, If the light is coming on and they are heating then the thermal fuse is ok. It sounds like you have one broken heater element. You should measure 35ohms when both heaters are connected to the PCB. If you measure 70ohms then one heater is broken. Is the new thermistor reliably glued down to the heater element? This will affect how well the temperature is controlled. Regards, Gary

Hallo Trev, ich habe problem mit ghd 5.0: Termosicherung is ok, Kabel ok , schalter ok, wiederstand heater 70+70=35 ist ok, aber keine Funktion, keine led. Termistor? Wie kann ich prüfen.

[@Ghd-repairCoUk]

Hallo Robert, Haben Sie die R8 und R11 Widerstände? Wenn alles andere in Ordnung ist, dann eines dieser Widerstand hat wahrscheinlich Leerlauf weg. Grüße, Gary ---- Hi Robert, Have you checked the R8 and R11 resistors? If everything else is ok, then one of those resistor has probably gone open circuit. Regards, Gary

[@robertbadt]

***** Hallo Gary, R8 = 51Om und R11 = 51Om. Grüße Robert

[@Ghd-repairCoUk]

In that case it is probably a failed PIC processor. We sell these on our website, but they are not quite as straightforward to replace as a resistor. Regards, Gary

[@mollymoppitt]

hi there, my ghd was not heating so my husband changed the thermo fuse and now its "over heating" do you know what else it needs to be replaced

[@Ghd-repairCoUk]

Hi Rose, Is the heater element working on the non switch side? Is the thermistor securely attached to the heater on the non switch side? Regards, Gary

[@orbitaaltube]

excellent vid thanks

Cheers for the tip.

hola puedo ayudar a alguien que tengo un problema con Cabello prensado del problema es que poner la toma enciende las luces Después de algunas luces parpadeantes siguen Ellos no se detienen después de que las placas se calientan normalmente El modelo es ghd 4.2P DATE CODE: C080819-0369 GRACIAS.
