NOTE!","description":"Hidden beneath the heating surface of the hair straightener, the heating element is the component that converts electrical energy into the heat required for styling. The GHD electrical resistance, code SIRHEAT5-1, intended for the Max Wide SS5.0 series (without sensor), has a nominal resistance of 70 Ω and is made of ceramic. The resistance transfers heat to the metal plate so that it reaches the temperature set by the electronics. Compatible with the models listed at the end of the description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnical specifications\u003cbr\u003e- GHD adaptable spare part\u003cbr\u003e- MPN (Manufacturer Part Number): SIRHEAT5-1\u003cbr\u003e- Country of production: Made in United Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e- Material: ceramic\u003cbr\u003e- Color: white\u003cbr\u003e- Compatible series (check the models under compatibility): Max Wide SS5.0 (without sensor)\u003cbr\u003e- Thermal paste: Mandatory\u003cbr\u003e- Type of resistance: Ceramic heating element\u003cbr\u003e- Integrated sensor: No - without integrated thermistor\u003cbr\u003e- Connection type: Cables with terminals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eATTENTION\u003cbr\u003eThis resistance is exclusively compatible with Max Wide SS5.0 models without a thermistor or sensor.\u003cbr\u003eCheck your resistance before purchasing the spare part.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions verified by hand by the PG Service team\u003cbr\u003e- Round spade terminals 4.2mm\u003cbr\u003e- Cable length 5cm \/ 50mm\u003cbr\u003e- Plate length 69.1mm\u003cbr\u003e- Plate width 19.5mm\u003cbr\u003e- Thickness 1.3mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is its function?\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSymptoms, what problems can you solve by replacing the resistance\u003cbr\u003eDoes 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.\u003cbr\u003eDoes 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.\u003cbr\u003eIs 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.\u003cbr\u003eDoes 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCare and maintenance of the spare part\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstallation instructions\u003cbr\u003e- 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.\u003cbr\u003e- 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.\u003cbr\u003e- 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.\u003cbr\u003e- 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.\u003cbr\u003e- Connect the terminals respecting the original path of the cables and preventing them from being crushed during reassembly.\u003cbr\u003e- Before putting the device back into service, check the insulation, continuity, temperature, and correct operation of the safety devices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTips from the PG Service assistance center\u003cbr\u003e- 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs it not exactly the item you are looking for?\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the electrical resistance spare part, we have thousands of GHD accessories and spare parts available in our shop.
