My husband retrieved a pair that someone was throwing away as they were bleeping, that was a year ago and today after reading this I have been able to use them, one word AMAZING!!!!!

Hi guys, this is a thermistor problem. The thermistor is located on the non switch arm of the ghd on top of the heater element.
A thermistor measures the heat of the heater elements and controls the auto switch off on mk4's or later.
If the temp is below 5c then the thermistor won't allow the ghd's to switch on to protect the heating element and you will get a continous beep.
If the plates are above 5c and your still getting a continous beep then the thermistor is damaged or broken and will need replacing.
If the thermistor comes away from the heating element then the plates will over heat and cause the thermal fuse to trip.
Hope this helps anyone who is having any problems.

Mine were in my car all day today while
I was at work, I went to use them this evening and started panicing! I googled it and then this site came up saying to warm with hands, I did that and it worked brilliantly, mine are limited edition pink originals from a hair salon and iv only had them since sept, so keep them as warm as possible and warm them with your hands it works great :)

Thank you so much everyone!

I thought were broken with the constant bleeping and went around looking rough for days.
I heating the plates up with the hair dryer and it worked!!

Very useful tip to know for the future.

The constant beeping sound when ghd is switched on indicates that the appliance is too cold to heat up, no need to worry if it makes this noise jus let the ghd heat up to room temperature and it's perfect again, u can use a hair dryer or radiator which ever works for u, but no need to panic the ghd is just too cold to work!!

HI EVERYONE, IF YOUR STRAIGHTNERS ARE NOT HEATING UP ITS YOUR THERMAL FUSE WHICH IS AT FAULT, EITHER PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT OFF EBAY FOR A COUPLE OF QUID OR SOLDER A THIN PIECE OF WIRE TO THE CONNECTORS OR SEND THEM TO GHD.

Decided to slip the bottle between the plates. Crazy yes i know, but a girl will go to any lengths for her GHDs! Lo an behold it worked! Lucky me!!!!!

Thank you so much!! One week before Christmas and thought i was doomed! i have really short naturally curly hair so was ready to go out and fork out on a new pair! The hairdryer worked a treat!! Its snowing outside so must be the cause of the 'shiver' x x

The hairdryer thing definitely works. My room right now has no heating, so I guess my GHDs were just too cold to heat up. Poor things. :(

u Don't even need a hairdryer. Just unplug them...warm the plates with your hands for about a minute and then you r good to go

Brilliant - handy trick to have. I thought my new mini GHD's (definitely genuine) had packed up but thanks to this forum I'm all sleek and shiny smooth again. Ta, & merry xmas from New Zealand.

Use a hair dryer to warm them up gently dont blast them! it takes about a minute, they need to reach a certain temperature before the alarm stops.

I left it on bleeping non-stop for bout 6 minutes, then it started to heat up by it self, mind you, it might be to do with the room temperature, it only seems to happen on really cold days, like frosty days.

I've just had this problem with them bleeping continously - hadn't heard of the 'shiver' mode before but they are working fine now that I am using them in a warm room...crazy!

hey i had the same problem. found out that because my heating in my house had gone, that they were just too cold. i took them over to my mums place (the heating there was fully in tact) and they were fine. got my heating fixed and havnt had ant problems since. so the over riding view seems to be that if they are cold then the will send warning beeps and you have to turn them off and get them warmed up.!! hope this was help to you guys!!

hi yes i bought mine of ebay for christmas for my daughter they worked for 4 weeks and then stopped working tried ghd
they are fakes so be very careful they looked really good
if you are going to buy off ebay asked them for the number on the lead then phone ghd and they will tell you there if they are ok
hope this helps
ps i bought mine for £120 i could of got the real ones for extra £30

julie evans

my ghd's did the same and when we sent them back they would not give us a new pair or our money back because the nonstop bleeping meens its stuck on shiver mode and this was apparently my fault because the plates had hair styling products on them, although the products were recomended for the ghd's.
and also they were burnt out for any chance did you buy your ghds off ebay?
because i belive there is someone on ebay selling faulty ghds.
