Revlon 473 Thermal Cutout Replacement

Remove the two 17.83 mm black screws located on the handle.

Separate the shell from the main component.

Check to ensure each piece is free from debris.

Remove the casing from the heating element.

Locate the thermal cutout under the coils of the heating element.

Test the thermal cutout for continuity using the multimeter.

If the numbers on the multimeter continue to change, the circuit is closed and properly functioning.

If the multimeter reads a consistent number, the circuit is opened and the thermal cutout needs to be replaced.

To replace the thermal cutout, use the spudgers to extract the object.

You do not need to take out the gold piece, only the thermal cutout.

Replace the old thermal cutout with a new thermal cutout by snapping it into place.
