If your Conair Cord-Keeper 169XR dryer isn't turning on, the back of the On/Off button that engages the power may be broken.

    • Be cautious of pieces that can possibly fall out when removing the face of the handle.

    • Once you have taken the screws out, take the top half of the handle off by lifting it off of the dryer.

    • Now take out the On/Off switch by gently pulling it out towards you and lightly pushing it to the right with your finger until it comes out of the groove it is resting in.

    • Once the new switch is in place you can put the dryer back together.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Looks to me that a replacement switch would be required. How can obtain one?

Jaky Felix -

“No parts required” is what’s displayed by default when there’s no link to an actual part for sale—it’’s a bit silly and clearly incorrect in this case. For hard-to-find parts, check eBay or Amazon. Also, a lot of folks with multiple broken units use these guides to cobble together one working unit from the parts. Good luck!

That was my question, where can I get a replacement switch?
