Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer: The Tip Broke Off and Will Not Reconnect

The top plastic part fell off. There is a metal piece inside that came put as well. It looks like it should just snap right back into place, but it just isn't connecting. Any clue how I can go about fixing this before resorting to tape?

Hair Dryer: No listing for L'ange hair dryer

Thu, 08 Sep 2022 01:24:00 -0700

I had no choice in asking my question because the L'ange, an expensive hair dryer, was not listed. If anyone has had any experience repairing it please contact me. $90 hair dryer should last more than a year, the company in California doesn't answer the phone, and has not replied to their recommended communication, email.

Jeff, I figured out how to open the dryer, mostly. the handle, which contains the heat elements and fan speed controls are covered in a clam shell, which can be opened by releasing two hidden screws, which i had a hunch about from the start. Can't open the handle totally so getting a meter on it is still not possible. I did get a temperature reading on the "broken" one and a new replacement. The replacement puts out about 155 degree at the hot setting. The broken on 125 degrees. Enough to feel but not enough to dry hair properly. So my thermal switch being clogged theory is wrong. Also, the "cool" setting blows as much heat as the "hot" setting. Still no way to at the whole device as the clam shells are pinched at the base of the handle and hard to release and get at the switch. I have had a hard time figuring out how to reply so I hope this works.

Your supposed to be able to put the head in different positions that it will stay when you put it in the position you want. Mine isn't doing that it doesn't hold in the position you put it in. How do I repair this

Thank you,

Hair Dryer: How do I fix my hair dryer? cool shot button is stuck

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.
