Help! Does anyone else's dryer feel hot after 5 mins of use? After I turned it off, the dryer casing &amp; nozzle area was pretty hot where I felt heat coming out of it. Is that normal? My old Solano dryer never felt that after 5 mins of use. Did I receive...

Not sure if it is normal by your standards, but my three V2 (2 blacks & 1 red) do feel hot after a peiord of use, but they do cool down fairly quickly. Hope this helps.

Hi, not sure if I undersand the question, but it does have a "cool" buttom on the handle which I think is used to change the air from warm to cold to hold the style. But if you're asking if the actual dryer gets hot, I don't really use it all that long so I tried it just now and it didn't get too hot to the touch. Hope that helps!

I used mine in France and Italy for a curling iron where it worked perfectly. When I used it with my 1875 watt hair dryer, it turned off after about 5 minutes. I thought it was broken but it worked fine again in a few minutes. I'm guessing it got too hot and needed to cool down. Good product--Enjoy!

I noticed a 'burnt odor' emanating from the hair dryer before initial use and was also concerned. After a few weeks of daily operation, the odor's dissipated. We've had our Remington hair dryer for several months now, and there's no unusual odor, just normal from what you'd expect from a very hot heating element.

In my opinion, the product that you have is defective and should be returned for replacement. Mine does not do this, but I have had the same thing happen with another brand that I used in the past. Or, is it possible that the hot air brush is too hot and needs to cool down before it restarts!! Hope this helps!!

I've owned two over the years and both had very good power. The one I have now I've had for about two years and it's still going strong. Sounds like your dryer is atypical.

No and I must warn that it makes any dryer you put it on very hot. I quit using it and wish I could return it.

Hi Larisa, Just like all styler dryers I've used it does get a bit hot to the touch. I've never found it to be a real problem as long as you're careful. I have very short hair so I have to be a bit more careful but as I said its not been too bad. For me it's still the best styler dryer I've ever found. Hope this helps you.

I have had my hair dryer for a few years now, with no problem, there was a couple of times I thought it was broke, but it wasn't I just had to reset it, I wasn't use to a dryer you may have to reset. If you have reset it and it doesn't work, I would say it was defective and should be returned.

Mine did this also, after only a few weeks! maybe heated too much? maybe not well constructed? if you have the receipt, return it!

I put mine in the dryer (washed before putting on the bed) and didn't have any problems with it. I made sure that it was on low heat and was only in there for about 25 minutes. It didn't need more time than that.

Hi; My dryer does the same thing. It never gets too hot, but it does warm up. I have never had need to use the heat settings, I just keep it in neutral. I guess the motor pulling the air forward heats it up. I really love this dryer.

The element has nothing to do with a dryer being to hot. You need to check the thermostats and the air flow. I would check the exhaust dust first to make sure it is open. Any restriction in the exhaust duct will restrict air flow and cause a dryer to overheat. Another symptom of duct problems will be long drying time and very hot, sometime steaming, clothes.

I have been using these back to back since late July, with several washes in between and that has never happen to me. I wash them with a hot cycle meant for heavy cotton and then rinse a second time. I have never used a dryer on them, that could be why yours are balling up. I just hang dry for a few hours.

I will tell you that this dryer broke on me in less than 3 months- and I only use a hair dryer about once a week. It was bought to replace a Conair that I had had more than a decade before it bit the dust. Might have been a fluke, but the EVA one I got to replace it has a much heavier feel and a thicker electric cord. I've only had it about a week though so I can't attest to its longevity yet.

The element is supposed to get hot and very often will appear red or orange. Now for my own liability sake I cannot tell you that it's operating at a normal or too high a temperature.....but mine turns bright Orange and Yes becomes VERY HOT. This Has been true with ALL of my Electric Dryers.Best of Luck,G
