Important product information
Important product information
Read these notes on compatibility, measurements, packaging, photos and technical data before purchase.
Customs data, HS Code and country of origin
The data relating to HS Code, customs code and country of origin, when present, is indicative and does not constitute customs advice. It is reported based on the information available when the product page was created, provided by the manufacturer or found on the product/packaging. This data may change. For specific customs requirements or absolute certainty, we recommend contacting us before purchase.
Product packaging
As we sell spare parts and accessories for household appliances, many items are supplied loose by manufacturers, without printed or dedicated packaging. When original or specific packaging is present, it is normally visible in the item photos. Otherwise, the product may be supplied in neutral packaging or without retail packaging, always with suitable protection for transport.
Item dimensions and measurements
The measurements shown on the product page are taken when the item is created and may have a small indicative tolerance of about 1-3 mm. Compatibility should mainly be checked through the brand and model indicated in the description. If the spare part is purchased for models not included in the compatibility list, we cannot guarantee correct fitting based on measurements alone.
Photos, details and technical specifications
The photos and technical specifications are created or reported with care when the product page is created. The manufacturer may change small aesthetic, construction or technical details over time without notice. Any variations do not affect compatibility when the item is purchased for the models indicated in the description. For use on models not listed as compatible, we recommend contacting us before purchase.
General note
The information on the product page is intended to help the customer choose the correct spare part and does not limit the rights provided by current legislation on the legal guarantee of conformity.

What is its function?
The resistance of a hair straightener is used to heat the metal or ceramic plate that comes into indirect contact with the hair. The heating element is powered and regulated by the device's electronics, while sensors and safety systems monitor the temperature. A heater with a value of 70 Ω should only be used when this value, along with the dimensions and connections, matches that intended for the model: a different electrical resistance can change the thermal power generated.
Symptoms, what problems can you solve by replacing the resistance
Does one of the two plates remain cold while the other heats up normally? If the other surface regularly reaches the temperature, check the continuity, connections, and resistance value associated with the cold plate.
Does one plate take much longer than the other to heat up or remain less hot? Insufficient heat distribution may be due to the element, the thermal interface, or the system that measures and regulates the temperature.
Is the heating intermittent, and does the plate go from hot to cold during use? Thermal expansion due to thermal cycles can make a pre-existing loose connection in the cables or ceramic element evident. Also check the board and sensor before replacing the component.
Does the straightener indicate an error, issue warnings, or stop heating before reaching the correct temperature? A temperature anomaly does not automatically identify the heater as faulty: the detection system and control board can generate very similar symptoms. An electrical measurement of the component avoids unnecessary replacements.
Care and maintenance of the spare part
The internal heating element does not require periodic cleaning by the user. To preserve the hair straightener, it is best to regularly remove residue from the styling plates without spraying detergents directly into the openings of the device. Water, sprays, and cosmetic products must not reach the heating resistance, terminals, or temperature sensor. If the ceramic is broken or a terminal cannot be safely restored, it is preferable to replace the element.
Installation instructions
- The intervention requires opening the straightener and accessing electrical components, so it is recommended for a technician. Disconnect the plug and wait for it to cool down completely before disassembly.
- Before removing the old heater, photograph the connections and electrically test the original component. The spare part must match 70 Ω, x x and configuration No - without integrated thermistor.
- Carefully remove the old resistance, avoiding bending the metal support or damaging the thermistor. Clean the residue of the previous thermal interface without scratching the surfaces.
- For the new element, the use of thermal paste is Mandatory. Correctly restore the thermal interface so that heat is transferred evenly to the plate.
- Connect the terminals respecting the original path of the cables and preventing them from being crushed during reassembly.
- Before putting the device back into service, check the insulation, continuity, temperature, and correct operation of the safety devices.
Tips from the PG Service assistance center
- Before replacing a ceramic resistance, measure the value of the original element with a multimeter and compare it with the one intended for the spare part. For this component, the nominal value is 70 Ω: do not choose a resistance just because it has similar dimensions. During installation, do not bend or twist the ceramic, because the rigid material can be damaged and lose electrical continuity. The use of thermal paste is Mandatory to promote uniform contact with the heating support. The most common causes of failure are broken connections, cracked ceramic, thermal stress, and overheating caused by control circuit anomalies. To prolong the life of the heating element, always heat the straightener with the terminals open and never with the block inserted, as the plates could overheat quickly, damaging the internal components.
