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 be able to replace the tube.

Preparation

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

Remove the grid

Push the metal grid toward the machine itself and pull/tilt it out. The grid is fixed in 2 holes at the outer arm of your HairMaster. Take a look before you start pushing/pulling.

Loosen the old heating tube

Press the heating tube slightly toward one end so the opposite end loosens from the socket, and gently tilt it out.
Is it stuck? Do not use force. Give the tube a slight twist (turn it just a little) while pressing in slightly. Once it’s loose, you can tilt it out without resistance – you’ll know, but it can be tricky on older machines.

Install the new heating tube

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

Put the grid back on

Opposite to how you loosened the grid, now guide it back toward the arm and press it against the machine to fit the grid into the 2 holes.

Turn on and test

Power on, turn on your HairMaster, and check that the tube heats steadily and evenly.
