I’m based in the US. My wife’s iron blew the thermal fuse on one side. A repair shop in the UK told me you aren’t able to just swap a plate assembly that the board needs to be set at whatever the resistance is of the new plate and only they can do that. Seems more like a sales tactic to me. Think that matters at all? The resistance on each plate in my wife’s was in the 580s. I’m thinking of buying a broken one on eBay and swapping in a working plate. Would prefer not to buy a new one if I can easily fix ours.
I just checked the plate assemblies and they're both exactly the same resistance. Around 13.5 ohms. You're right, it does smack of dodgy practice doesn't it.
Thanks so much for posting this video. I Fixed my wife’s ghd straighteners for £4.99. Absolute lad (applause).
Worked perfectly, thank you. Happy wife.....you all know the rest 👌🏻
You absolute legend! This worked a treat. The missus is very happy. Thank you
The other part to go faulty commonly is the power cord. If it does, it's even easier to replace and a replacement cord costs about £14.
How do you access the that? Seems like the issue with mine. If I fiddle about with the cord, it switches on so I need to replace the cord.
@@_B.M_ just search power cord replacement. It's a very simple job, just needs a small screwdriver.
My issue is that the flat iron doesn't stay in place when I open and close, to iron my hair I have to do it manually, I need help plaese
Thank you, worked a treat! :)

Great video - just trying to repair the Wifes. I guess I need a multi meter - any recomendations please? Never used one.
They can be quite confusing when first using one, and if you're only getting one for jobs like this then cheap and cheerful. Screwfix is a good bet
How did you know which side to change?
By checking the fuse wires for continuity.
On this version only one side has the fuse.
what happened if you use the wrong voltage can it be fixed?
Thanks for the video. 👍
Using plier did not help. Hold in vice and tap element to slide upart
lucky wife, can you do mine lol ?
👍🏻
