Whats Inside a Hair Dryer - How to Repair or Salvage

Get a look at the inside workings of a hair dryer as I take one apart piece by piece. This is a deconstruction of a Revlon Ionic Ceramic hair dryer but the basic function, parts and potential problems are similar to most hand held dryers. In this electronics breakdown I define the problem, diagnose the issue & offer repair and maintenance suggestions. I also highlight the amazing parts available for salvage including:
- Heating element
- Thermal switch & thermal fuses
- 4 switches
- GFI power plug
- Motor & fan
- Resistors

WARNING: working on electronics carries certain risks. If you work with any electronics, then you are doing so at your own risk. Please do your own research to ensure that you are fully informed and comfortable with what you are doing. Choose the safety techniques that work best for you.
