The fact that you didn't have the back cover on when u tested it, prevented the hot air to get pushed out. There was nothing steering the fan air into the dryer if u get what I mean.
Hello, do you know if it's possible to disable the heating element? I need my hair dryer to blow normal air only. If I just pull out the connection to the heating element will it still work?
@@Adam-oz1vm If the wires go to a plug and then connect to the heating element you could pull out the plug and it should still be able to bow cold but the chances are the wires are soldered on . You will not know without opening it up
The capacitor should have a discharge resistor across it to prevent people getting zapped when they touch the plugs. If it doesn't have one you should discharge it by shorting it for example with a screwdriver before you start working on the device.
At 8 mins you tested it with the back OFF , I’m sure without it the fan wont create air flow? The fan was basically freewheeling the air whilst the element heated up as normal , I suspect the erratic switch was the only issue? Love your vids though. Mistakes are learning opportunities

The element will glow because you have the fan cowl off, so the is not being pushed pass the element and if you keep going you will burn it out or the thermal fuse will go!!
The issue is that the unit has a thermistor installed and when it overheats it prevents the heating element from engaging. Cleaning it, fixed that. Well done

Ah, yes that makes sense. Thanks 👍
Yeah I was screaming the ducted fan won’t work without the cowling!!! Love the vids and the singing at the end

Spotted that immediately when I saw the elements heat up. No cowling on the back is air not being forced through.
I agree with N, H. below the dust meant nothing it was just the switch and they don't work without the back on of course!
Nice video. My favorite part as an American was I learned a new word. Minging
That hairdryer is breaking all the laws of thermodynamics!
Very interesting. Makes me wonder what I’ve tossed that could have been saved by a little dusting.
BaByliss 3Q owner here. That blue plastic (switch cover) part is in switch - that was my problem.
7:59 *I'm just gonna see what it does*
*sucks all the dust you plucked out, in again*
😫
🤣
🤣
It needs the cowl on to direct the air past the heater with out the covers on the air will flow around the outside
Great video ! That thing looked like it almost burned your hand. It's safe for hair ?
8:00 carefully removed dust and hair decides it prefers to be inside the hairdryer😏
Haha, yes I noticed that. It does actually blow it straight through, but you can't really pick it up on the video!
At 12:52 you can see a spark at the front of the element. Not sure if it has anything to do with it 🤷♂️

Almost two-and-a-half years later... Is it still working?
I have a question where do you get replacement parts. Please and thank you
The next model was the Babyliss 4Q but they were recalled due to the offensive name!
Haha 😄
Compressed air thru outlet is usually enough. A quick naked flame will remove hair but carefully...lol👍
how about using glows when dealing with mains.
Sir what is that blue Mat called is that something I can get off Amazon?

*Cleans the dryer*
7:59 All the dirt gets sucked back in. 😅
There might have been a break in the element and when you moved it about a bit, the element probably reconnected.
How did you get the overhead shot? What did you film with? Thanks
How does removing the heating element will only blow cool air? I needed cool air only
You are very entertaining 😊
Cool Video!
Thanks Wolli!
It's called spanner screwdriver.

Can’t it just be turned to cold as per the dryer in the vid? Save opening it up, failing that simply isolate the heat setting switch somehow?
It should do yes , try it and see

burn something or watever mate. lol. thanks for the video

This one made me giggle. You fixed it in the first 5 minutes then took it further apart for no reason. At least it's clean now.
How? What did he do within the first 5 minutes of the video that fixed it?
@@edwardcullen3251 he had it working but hadn't realised because covers were off and the fan wasn't blowing through the heating element.
Are you sure it was broken to begin with? Lol
Lot's of money for 50 year old technology, a bit like dyson crap. Great marketing, rubbish products
What is a good hair dryer then?
you lay hand on it and it's fixed
