Why is the red light flashing and beeping on my ghd within one minute It’s the first time I have used it??

It looks to be a common ghd fault (see attached link). You should contact the supplier/ghd for a refund or replacement. external link

My GHD platinum just made a loud pop sound and stopped working halfway through me using it. Is it dead?

Hi ghd is it normal that my 7 week old ghd nala gold straightener is flashing white with no noise and then cools down after just 10 minutes of use, whilst straightening my hair this has happened, it's happened 2 times now, I have only used them 10 times, I press the flashing white button and it works again, is this normal?

No, not normal. I would contact where you purchased your GHD from as it sounds like a fault. They should replace it for you.

My ghd straightener has begun to beep and a red light is flashing. I did love this appliance and am disappointed as it it no longer heating up. I am really reluctant to purchase this brand again. It appears that this model is defective and should never have been sold. The god model that I had before this was fantastic and I used it for 5 years.

My new GHD gold is flashing red and beeping and will not heat up. I’m not happy as it happened out of the blue and cannot be used now.. $300 product that is faulty. Please GHD advise me on what to do.

Contact GHD with your model number and they will look into it for you. This happened to me many many years ago and I had to send back the old one and they replaced it. If it is new it will still be under warranty. I'm talking quite a few years ago. But I did it all online on their website.

My GHD straighteners also beep and start flashing red not long after using them on my hair. Is this dangerous? Are the straighteners about to short out or something? Should I still use them? Please let me know what the problem is and can it be fixed? Thanks

It’s normal for the straightener to flash solid red as soon as you turn the switch on. It will then beep and start flashing as soon as it’s hot and this tells you it’s ready to be used. It will continue to flash until you switch it off, if you forget to turn it off the time-out function kick in and beep & turn it to yellow (I think) if you forget to turn off yourself. It’s just the safety mechanism on it... which has helped me on numerous occasions.... Thank goodness!

Hi ive just bought my first ghd v gold, when i turn it on the power switch lights up as a solid red light, then about 10 seconds later it beeps twice and the solid red power button begins to flash, it does heat up but it appears only 1 plate gets hot, then it shuts down after zbout 10 mins. Can anyone tell me if this is normal.

My platinum ghd’s flash white when turned on then start bleeping and flashing red

Please help?

Hi Maxine, mine usually does this when it times out due to inactivity. So, if it’s doing this as soon as you turn it on, then perhaps check to see whether it’s heating up fully. If not, then it sounds to me like there may be an issue with it.

I just got the GHD Platinum a few months ago. I was really loving this straightener until about a week ago it starts beeping, flashing red, and seems to turn off after about a minute of use. What is the reason for this?
