ionco® Compatible Thermal Fuse for ghd Models 3.1b, 4.0, 4.1b, 4.2b, 5.0, SS, SS2, SS4, SS4.2, SS5.0

Update as of June 2024:Stopped working this week after around 2 years, I don't use my straighteners often so not a forever fix. I'll order another fuse and see how long this one lasts.My Mk5s stopped working. Changed the power supply and it wasn't that. Followed a YouTube tutorial and changed the thermal fuse and good as news! Well Impressed

Fitted and completed the repair, working perfect now.

Purchased this fuse to replace one out of a model 3.1, great price and superfast delivery from seller. This fuse is slightly larger than the fuse that came out so some fiddling with the mounting plate but eventually all fitted ok. The length is bigger so had to extend the mounting hole using a sharp knife to elongate the hole. The fuse thickness is also bigger so makes for a tight fit, be careful not to damage existing parts. All in all, take your time and don't force anything. Really pleased with fix and used IR thermometer to check operating temperature, mine ramped up to 170 deg C and sat there. For the money spent and time much better that £100+ replacement.

I bought 2 of these for a fiver as my wife's GHD 5.0 straighteners had stopped working and a check with my multimeter confirmed a blown thermal fuse and both elements okay.Delivery was rapid and on checking the dimensions these are an exact match with the originals apart from the leads, which are a bit longer than on the original, but did not present any problems when fitting.The thermal fuse was fitted to the defective straighteners in no time and upon switching on, after reassembly of course, they worked first time so effectively a set of GHDs were repaired for £2.50 plus my time, a no brainer.If anyone is wondering why I bought 2 fuses it was because they were so cheap that I now have a spare should any of my friends or family require a similar repair carried out in the future as I have repaired quite a few sets of GHDs now.

The description said this was a compatible fuse. As far as capacity rating is concerned that is probably true however it was physically much large and as a result I had to make significant modification to the plastic mounting to enable me to get it to fit.

Very pleased with item and now GHDs are now working , my only grievance is they wasnt delivered when we was told they would be and for the price of the delivery I would expect better delivery .

Direct replacement for the Ghd straighteners model 5.0. Very quick fix

used this thermal fuse to replace the blown original on my partner’s old spare set of straighteners (Ghd v5).After replacing the ghd light came on and plates were getting hot therefore I switched and asked off my partner to try them later.Later my partner told me that the plates were getting too hot and had to switch them off.I turned them and measured the plates temperature which is supposed to be 185c.The plates continued to rapidly heat up past 250c and the smell of burning plastic and smoke started to come from the straighteners. At over 300c I pulled the plug. The plastic around both plates was now molten, but the fuse has not blown.Based on this experience if your straighteners have a temperature fault which caused the original thermal original fuse to fail, this replacement will not keep your product repairable and could be very dangerous.And yes the old straighteners were FUBAR and binned.Note there is a previous review that also reported this.One star as no stars is not an option.
