I've had mine for two years. It's not overused, just twice a week for about 10 minutes each time. It feels normal - warm, not hot. Getting too hot to touch in 5 minutes sounds like an electrical problem?

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.

I haven't experienced this problem! I do know that the nozzle is really hot when in use. Other then that I love my dryer!

I own two of them and I have never had that problem. Check to make sure that the filter screen is not dirty and clogged, I know that this will make it run hot.

No it's not, I've bought it for my mom who lives in Iran and this is not working properly and burnt her hair and also the diffuser has MELTED even though she was using the LOW heat! I have a picture of the melted diffuser and I'll post it after I check with the company to see if something was wrong with that specific dryer or this is general and can happen to everyone?! (because I have the same one here in US and it is working very well).

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.

If its actually too hot to touch then thats bad, but if its warm I think thats normal. I tested mine by turning it up to 6 for a few minutes and thats all it took to get it warm. I supposed if I left it for hours at 6 it would feel quite warm. I don't think its a big deal.

I would love to help you, but I have not used this dryer for a while. I did not like it. the end does come off, but I found it awkward to use. Heavy, just not comfortable to use, like off balance or something. Good Luck

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

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 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.

I have not seen this dryer over heat. I love the dryer. It is very powerful. They say it is whisper quiet, But that isn't true. Although it isn't very quiet. I love it!

I have washed mine and it worked fine. It says don't dry in the dryer though. I let mine just air dry. I can reach in the oven and take anything out and haven't felt the heat at all.

I have never had this dryer overheat. In fact it doesn't have any heat settings, just two settings for air velocity. The air gets warm after a bit, but I think this is just from the heat of the motor. It never gets hot like a hand held dryer, but I rarely run it more than 20 minutes at a time.

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.

One concern: Does any part of the unit feel warm or hot? Run your hand all over the unit. Run your fingers over the electrical cord after it has been running for 30 minutes. Run your fingers around the wall plug. Careful not to tough the prongs. Electrical resistance causes heat. Hence a possible source of your smell. This is not safe. If you feel any of these areas warm or hot disconnect the unit and call a licensed electrician to verify that the wire servicing the wall plug is heavy enough to supply the air conditioning unit. Second suggestion: Pull out both filters. Wash with any bathroom cleaner that contains bleach. Dry with a towel and reinsert.Hope this resolves your issue.

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.

I wash on high heat, both washer & dryer. I don't guess it needs high heat in the dryer, but it doesn't seem to hurt it. Warm or air dry would work just as well. I want it real clean and fresh-smelling because I sleep on it with two little boys, and I want all the "pee-smell" out. It gets washed often, and has stood up really well to all the washings. It never smells, and I wash it with towels and underwear. I do not use bleach, and there are no stains. Nothing gets thru the bottom layer, and it's very absorbant. The only drawback is that it "sleeps warm". The boys often throw off their covers, so this works well for them. Not so much for me. I have four of these pads, and I'm very happy with them.

There was a slight smell at first but it wore off. This is common in many electric heaters. I call it the newness smell. However if it continues to smell and the odor is strong there may be some defect. Possibly a piece of plastic stuck on the heating element inside. Give it a few days and let it run for a couple of hours.Keep a close watch on it.
