Conair Cord-Keeper 169XR Dryer Head Disassembly

Schwierigkeitsgrad

Moderate

Schritte

Zeitaufwand

15 - 20 Minuten

Einleitung

You are going to be starting from the handle and working your way to the head of the dryer in this disassembly.

Werkzeuge

Phillips #2 Screwdriver

Schritt 1

Unscrew the two 18 mm long Phillips #2 screws on the side of the hair dryer.

Schritt 2

Be cautious of pieces that can possibly fall out when removing the face of the handle.
Once you have taken the screws out, take the top half of the handle off by lifting it off of the dryer.

Schritt 3

Remove the inner white disk piece by gently pulling it out with your finger nail.

Schritt 4

Gently remove the tan boxes (power supply) by wiggling them out of place and set them aside so you can take the back part of the handle off.

Schritt 5

Remove the inner white disk piece from the base of the dryer head by gently pulling it out with your finger nail.

Schritt 6

Unscrew the three 12 mm long Phillips #2 screws to remove the back of the hairdryer.

Schritt 7

Once the three screws are removed, pop the back of the dryer off by wiggling it until it comes loose. This shouldn't take too much effort.

Schritt 8

At this point, unwind the cord and lay it to the side so you can get to the screw in the middle easier.
Remove the single 12 mm long Phillips #2 screw in the middle of the cord track.

Schritt 9

Take off the white cap that covers the heating coil. You will see a wound up piece of metal (cord retracting coil) underneath once the cap is removed.

Schritt 10

When removing the coil, make sure it stays wound up. It could very easily pop out, and you would have to wind it all the way back up and try to squeeze it back into the slot when you reassemble the dryer.
To remove the coil, use your screw driver to pop the coil out of the slot.
The second image is what the coil would look like if it came undone when you removed it.

What is simplest way to rewind cord? Mine looked like the second image when I got that far with removing the parts. It was already a tangled mess. I am going to try and rewind. Where do the bent ends of the coil go? I have started with putting one in groved slot....but if even can get it wound tight enough....I don't see where the other bend would go. Thank you, Susan
