Spring & Lever Repair Guide
Tools Needed
- 1 small Phillips screwdriver
- 1 medium Phillips screwdriver
- 1 needle-nose pliers
Safety First
- Unplug the curling iron and allow it to cool completely before starting.
Step 1: Remove Heating Element Screws
Using the small Phillips screwdriver, remove the three small screws located on the heated element, forward of the handle:
- Two screws on each side of the lever
- One screw on the opposite side of the lever
Step 2: Slide Heating Element Forward
Gently pull the heating element forward only as far as needed to expose the pin that holds the lever—approximately ½ inch.
- Do not pull it out farther than necessary
- Try to keep the element aligned on the exposed black guide
Step 3: Remove Lever Pin
Using the needle-nose pliers, carefully push or pull out the pin that secures the lever.
Step 4: Remove Old Spring
With the medium Phillips screwdriver, loosen (do not remove) the clamp holding the spring.
- Remove any remaining pieces of the old spring before installing the replacement.
Step 5: Install New Spring
Position the new spring correctly and tighten the clamp securely.
Step 6: Reinstall Lever
Reinstall the lever by pushing the pin through the lever and the body.
- Ensure the pin is seated evenly on both sides.
Step 7: Reassemble
Slide the heating element back into position and reinstall the three screws removed in Step 1.
Final Check
Test the lever to confirm smooth operation.
If everything moves correctly, the repair is complete.
