Disassembling Flat Iron Remington S-3500

ID: 185440

Description:

Steps:

1. What the flat IRON looks like

2. Locate and remove the Hinge caps (One on each side)
3. On one side there will be a Philips screw below the cap
4. Take care. Screws seem quite soft, so find a well matching screwdriver

5. Here you see the caps
6. Then the two "tube" like parts of the hinge/axle
7. Then comes the spring that forces the arms apart (Which came out just above where it is seen in the picture

8. You can now access the three screws holding back the covers in both sides.

9. Notice the spring to the right, when you put it together again

10. The swivel on the mains cord is held back by 2 screws also easily accessible when the arms are separated
11. I bend the small pickups in the white part a little bit to make then just a bit tighter. (I dont know if this was the loose connection, but after assembly the blue light signalling heating started working again)
12. Caution, the parts inside carry (in my case 230 Volts) So checking for loose connections while taken apart should be done with an Ohm Meter or similar.
