The fuse is rated at 240°C and 10A and is designed for\nuse in GHD straightener models 5.0, SS5.0, 4.2B, SM5.0, and all earlier GHD\nmodels using the same fuse specification. It is an aftermarket replacement\npart and is not manufactured by or affiliated with GHD. The pack contains one\nthermal fuse. The straightener, plates, cable, and all other components are\nnot included. What This Part Is The thermal fuse is a small electrical safety\ncomponent located inside each of the straightener's heating plates. Its\nfunction is to cut the electrical circuit if the plate temperature exceeds the\nrated threshold of 240°C, preventing dangerous overheating of the appliance.\nThe thermal fuse is a one-time protection device — once it has blown in\nresponse to an overtemperature event, or has failed due to age or repeated\nthermal cycling, it cannot be reset and must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse\nis one of the most common causes of a GHD straightener failing to heat up, as\nthe fuse interrupts the circuit to the heating element when it opens. Symptoms\nof a Blown Thermal Fuse Common signs that the thermal fuse in a GHD\nstraightener may need replacement include: The straightener powers on\n(indicator light activates) but the plates do not heat up The straightener\nheats up on one side only, as each plate contains its own fuse The\nstraightener cuts out mid-use and does not recover after cooling The appliance\nhas previously overheated or been left on for an extended period A blown\nthermal fuse is distinct from a faulty heating element. If the straightener\ndoes not power on at all (no indicator light), the fault may be in the cable,\nswitch, or PCB rather than the thermal fuse. Model Compatibility This thermal\nfuse fits the following GHD models: GHD 5.0 GHD SS5.0 GHD 4.2B GHD SM5.0 All\nearlier GHD models using the same fuse specification To confirm this fuse is\nthe correct part for your straightener, locate the model designation on the\noriginal GHD packaging, on the straightener body, or in the device\ndocumentation. The type designation (e.g. 4.2B, SS5.0) is usually printed on a\nlabel on the straightener arm or near the hinge. This fuse is not confirmed\nfor current GHD models including the GHD Platinum, GHD Gold, GHD Chronos, or\nother models not listed above, which may use a different fuse specification.\nSpecifications Rated temperature: 240°C Rated current: 10A Material: metal\nalloy Dimensions: identical to the original GHD thermal fuse for the models\nlisted Installation Replacing the thermal fuse in a GHD straightener requires\nthe straightener to be disassembled to access the plate assembly. This\ninvolves: Ensuring the straightener is unplugged and fully cooled before\nbeginning. Opening the straightener body using appropriate tools — GHD\nstraighteners use specific screws that require a suitable screwdriver.\nLocating the thermal fuse within the plate assembly and removing the blown\nfuse. Fitting the replacement fuse in the same position, ensuring correct\norientation and secure connection. Reassembling the straightener and testing\nbefore use. This repair requires basic electronics knowledge and appropriate\ntools. If you are not confident performing this repair, it should be carried\nout by a qualified repair technician. Incorrect installation may result in the\nappliance not functioning correctly or may create a safety hazard. Safety The\nthermal fuse is a safety-critical component. It should only be replaced with a\nfuse of the correct specification — 240°C and 10A for the models listed. Using\na fuse with a higher rated temperature would reduce the overheat protection\nprovided by the component. Always use a fuse that matches the original\nspecification. After replacement, ensure all connections are secure and the\nstraightener is fully reassembled before plugging in and testing. Why Repair\nRather Than Replace GHD straighteners are a significant purchase and a thermal\nfuse failure does not indicate that the heating element, cable, PCB, or other\ncomponents are faulty. Replacing the thermal fuse is a straightforward repair\nthat restores the straightener to working condition at a fraction of the cost\nof a replacement appliance, provided the fault has been correctly identified\nas a blown fuse. Package Contents Each pack contains: One replacement thermal\nfuse, 240°C 10A For GHD models 5.0, SS5.0, 4.2B, SM5.0 and earlier\nStraightener and all other components not included Safety Warning Installation\nshould be carried out with the iron disconnected from the power.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n         \u003cli\u003eTHERMAL FUSE FOR GHD STRAIGHTENERS 240C 10A  Replacement thermal fuse for GHD hair straightener plates.
