Its a hand held gun type hairdryer. No additional nozzle is used.
It has been known for the thermal cutout to operate, after which it takes about
10 minutes to reset.Simon.

Ah, there are normally two of these. One in the motor and one for the element. Has the blow decreased over time? The element will overheat if the blower is less efficient than it used to be and the motor may overheat also as mentioned before. Personally, I'd be looking for a new one, is it very old?

Well I was going to say its obviously a crying shame, but shed no tears of the demise of an old hairdryer.
I wonder why Dysan don't make one?
Brian
And the cut out is probably popping due to the slow start of the motor due to the muck inside.

Its made by Remington. The thing appears to work fine despite the short-lived smell, and the cut-out has not occurred recently, but I'll give it a good clean anway. Simon.
For that frizzled look.
My hair dryer is having the same problem and now it’s 2022. I see these posts are from 9 years ago. Lol. My hair dryer doesn’t has a cool switch either. It’s a Conair 1875 with one on low high off switch.
