Is there anything I can do? My retractable cord won't stay out anymore, thus, I am unable to use the dryer at all. I REALLY loved this dryer!

I have had a few problems going in and out I usually twist the cord snd manipulate back. Good luck hope this helps.

I love the dryer, too. I've had the opposite....and I noticed that when the cord is out and I can't retract it completely, I figure it is twisted and must face the same direction going back in. So, by that logic, maybe if you twist it a bit at the place closest to the base while it is out and holding it twisted like that, begin to retract it and see if it catches. Or use a clamp close to the base. Otherwise I imagine you could use an extension cord...or last ditch effort would be take it to a hardware or lighting store where they know about electrical things?

I had the same problem the very first time I used it this past Sunday. Worked great for a while, then the belt just popped off. It was a pretty easy fix, although for some people it may not be so easy. So I emailed Toro, and they said they have NO problems with the belt associated with this particular model! I read lots of the reviews for this, and it seems to be a somewhat common occurance. The one person that said there is a 'patch' of 'fix' for this is dead wrong. There is NO such thing. I guess we just have to get lucky somehow and hope it stays on.

I have the exact same issue. I've tried everything I can think of but it doesn't seem to be removable. I just tie the cord together with a twist tie and use it with the cord dangling out the bottom.

I put the male side of the cord though one of the holes that has the second small hole on each side and kind of "clipped" it there. If it wouldn't stay then I would hold that end of the cord there and just start winding it around. Hope that helps.

The cord is not retractable. The reason our vacuum became unreliable has been due to a loose connection. If we pulled slightly on the lead or pushed it slightly into the back of the machine it would work.It maybe a simple loose connection but infuriatingly it seems a huge job to remedy the problem.In short if the lead still comes out of the plastic rotating lug that you wind the lead around I would be worried you would eventually have the same problem we experienced. Good luck on your decision.

Hi Carla, I have not had that problem. I keep my dryer up from May - October. When my husband takes it down for the season he closes slowly while keeping the lines straight up and down. I also store standing up in the garage with a garbage bag on top to keep the lines clean. I am asking my husband now ----- Take and gather the lines on either side of the center pole so that when you fold the dryer the lines don't get all tangled. You can use string or elastic ribbon to tie together when closing. Hope this helps

Do you have access to the attic where you can remove a piece of the vent duct so you could work down to your dryer with the LintEater. If not, I would try to work from the dryer inlet to the vent duct and go up maybe 5' to 8' at a time then use an shop vacuum to suck the loose lint.

I have had absolutely no problems with mine. I can't imagine what happened to yours. I don't suppose there is any kind of warranty left on it? I'm sorry that you had trouble with yours. I think it is a great hair dryer.

Try cleaning and oiling/lubricate it. Also, being electric, see if your cord is still good.Otherwise, time to get a new one. Sorry!!

The warning label on my unit was at the end of the cord around the thicker area that does not retract into the dryer. If possible you might try moving it there. any sticky residue can probably be cleaned with a paper towel slight dampened with acetone (nail polish remover). That way the card will fully retract and you still keep the warning label (no risk of federal indictment, losing your firstborn, or whatever the penalty is)

Try tucking it in a corner, if that doesn't work, use those 3m velcro strips to secure the base. I lodged the cord under a hutch foot, so it didn't move.

I pulled the dryer out. Removed the flexible hose and cleaned it with the tool outside, as a great deal of lent and dust came out. I then ran it through the vent pipe going from the wall near the dryer and under my kitchen floor to the outside vent. I actually disconnected the pipe into two section and brought them into the back yard due to all of the lent and dust. I do not think it was made to go though the dryer itself. I ran my vacuum hose up into the dryer vent from the back and from the lent trap.

I had similar issues myself. I just messed with the cord a whole and it started back working. This was a waste of my money.

I'm not sure. All I know is the dryer works and I saved over $100. I bought three of them, although of the dryer goes out again, I will probably replace it since there must be something causing it to over heat. I'm hoping that cleaning the air duct tube fixed that.

pull the cord out that you plug into the computer and then try the botton holding it in for the 2 seconds or longer that it says to hold it. The cord might be stopping it from contact. If that doesn't work contact the company you bought it from. I'm sure you have 30 days in which to change it out or send another one

What you are describing does not happen with my blow dryer.I suggest you get a hold of where you purchased the dryer from and discuss with them.
