HairMaster: How to replace heating tubes

What you need

1. Original OLYMP heating tube
   

How to do it

Check the serial number

You’ll find the serial number under the head of your HairMaster. The serial number must be above 3,000,000 for you to replace the tube.

Preparation

1. Switch off your HairMaster
2. Let it cool down
   

Remove the grille

Push the metal grille toward the machine itself and pull/tilt it out. The grille is secured in two holes at the outer end of your HairMaster’s arm. Take a look before you start pushing/pulling.

Remove the old heating tube

Press the heating tube slightly toward one end so that the opposite end comes loose from the socket, then carefully tilt it out.
Is it stuck? Do not use force. Give the tube a gentle twist (turn it just a little) while pressing it slightly inward. Once it is loose, you can tilt it out without resistance—you’ll know—but it can be a little tricky with older machines.

Install the new heating tube

Do the same in reverse: Insert one end into the socket, press it in gently, and tilt the other end into place. The same applies here as before: Do not use force. Give the tube a gentle twist (turn it just a little) while pressing it slightly down into the socket.

Reattach the grille

In the opposite way to how you loosened the grille, guide it back toward the arm and press it against the machine itself to insert the grille into the two holes.

Switch on and test

Connect your HairMaster to power, switch it on, and check that the tube heats steadily and evenly.
