My GHDs are making a Crackling Noise. Are they safe to use?

The noise you can hear is electricity arcing inside your GHDs. This is bad! You should stop using them and get them repaired, as they could fail completely and sometimes this can involve a loud bang and/or a small fire.

To get them repaired you can either do it yourself by working through the relevant repair guide for your model of GHD:

• Mk3 Repair Guide - 3.1b, GHD3, SS, SS2, MS etc
• Mk4 Repair Guide - 4.0B, 4.1B, 4.2B, 4.2P, SS4.0, MS4.0 etc
• Mk5 Repair Guide - Mk5 Gold, MS5, SS5, SC5.
• Gold Repair Guide - Gold S7N261 & S7N421 Max

Or you can send them away for a fixed fee repair - GHD Repair Service.
