I need to replace the cord because it’s making noise. I removed it no problems ,but where do you find a cord with this type of plug on the end?

Hi Joe!

Quick question! While I may not have a chi, I’m assuming most models are about the same in respect to how they run and blah. But my question to you is, well I have a loose spring in my straightener and I’m scared to open it up. How will i know what position my spring has to be in?

Thanks!

Anyone have any experiences with the U-Smooth brand of flat iron?
My wife has 2 of these that have failed almost the same way.
Neither one will hold the temperature correctly. The temperature will usually slowly decrease or bounce around, they should hold around 450 degrees. One of the irons will actually show a “ERR 01″ code on the display. I took one of the irons apart and found no obvious burnt components. Pretty sure the power cords are OK. Anyone know if these irons have a thermal fuse? If so, where is it located?

So, I go to turn on my chi this morning and it won’t turn on. Then later I closed it an held the plates together really hard and the light came on and apparently it only works when I hold the plates tightly together! What’s wrong with it?

Anyone know the value of the resistor on the main circuit board of the chi? I just pulled my girlfriends apart after hers stopped working in Europe and the resistor is fried.

Thanks

My chi stopped working awhile ago…and I just so happened to have my friend crystal over and she told me to see if I could go get a new powercord. Apparently there is really know place to actually buy one. Any suggestions??
