Silly question. Is it normal for a hairdryer to overheat and cut out way before you’ve finished? Is this a quality issue or is it faulty/damaged?
I’ve been having this happen with different cheap hairdryers. And while my hair is difficult to get dry/takes ages, it isn’t even going for a long time. I only ever rough dry my roots and am having the dryer cut out before I’ve finished doing that.
Check if the intake is blocked by dust/lint. Even if partially blocked might not be getting enough airflow through to counter the heat, and safety cutoff can happen. If all good, then probably it’s just a badly designed hairdryer. Sometimes it’s worth paying a bit more for a basic name brand item than the super cheap ones. Maybe in the Boxing Day sales you could find a bargain?
That’s a good idea, I don’t attend the shops but could keep an eye out for online deals.
I don’t see anything blocking the intake but can double check
It’s normally the appliance that’s faulty and tripping the circuit. Try using the hairdryer in another part of the house that’s on a different circuit and see what happens.
If it doesn’t trip then you may need to replace the safety switch at the circuit board. Hope that helps
