Another Hair Dryer Quit Working?

Okay, how many times do people throw away hair dryers because they tought they quit working ?

 Thing is that hair dryers have built-in thermostats, so when a hair dryer gets dangerously hot it shuts  itself off. This protects from both hair damage and short curcuits which may cause a fire.

So the next time your hair dryer seemingly quits

working..wait a while,let it cool off, and try it again before buying a new one.

Note: Popcorn poppers are the same way. They also have built-in thermostats. 

And for this kind of stuff anyway stick to brand names that are UL listed. Sure they cost more but it's worth it.
