GHD 3.1B

This model is a MK3 pair of GHD straightener in Black.

For a guide to debugging this model, have a look at our Mk3 GHD Debugging guide

Normal operation is as follows:

Switch on => LED on constantly
Reach operating temperature => LED flashes.

Normal causes of electrical failure are thermal fuses and cables (although see our debugging guide to confirm). If a ceramic plate comes loose, then you'll probably need to replace the plastic part that holds the ceramic plate in place (see the online shop)

Instructions for replacing the cable can be found here.

Instructions for replacing the thermal fuse can be found here. (If you need to buy a thermal fuse, then see the page about purchasing a thermal fuse)

Instructions for replacing the heater element, heater plate or heater plate mounting part can be found here

It seems GHD (i.e. the manufacturer) no longer repair this model. I've heard from a number of people that they have sent their GHD 3.1B's off to GHD with faulty cable like symptoms, only to be told "there is a fault with the PCB and we no longer stock spare parts for this model". To me this sounds like GHD are hoping you will then take up their offer of a new pair with a £30 discount. If you don't accept that, then they will charge you £10 to get your broken GHD back! All sounds a bit cheeky to me.... Of course all the non-official repair companies will happily repair them - see the Repair Service page.
