ghd Platinum Questions & Answers
VerifiedMy GHD Platinum+ suddenly flashes red & beeps every so often. After reading all the comments on this site, I see this has been an issue for 10 years, yet they are still being sold. I have had mine for about 2 or 3 years now. Extremely disappointed they cannot be repaired. I paid a lot of money for them in New Zealand. Why is GHD continuing to sell a faulty product?
After reading the above comments why is this happening to so many customers, with no resposability being taken from ghd
Yup same problem ghd platinum plus flashing red and nothing and to top it of Christmas present less then 3 years ago and the web site says the warranty is out and gave my old ghd gold away...so shouldnt have but now realistically ghd gold,platinum plus and now $$ for new 1s jeepers are there eny other good brand hair straighteners pretty disappointed with the dodgy platinums..... ticking time bomb with no explosion.
Hi, I have had my black GHD Platinum + for about 5 years, I have always taken good care of it, as it's not cheaper, then all of a sudden, when I used it last week (24/4/2024), just like the previously comments left recently I turned it on and was getting a red flashing beeping light around the power button, can this be repaired or replaced?, my Original gold GHD lasted longer than this one.
Hey! Mine did the exact same thing. I called them up and it is past warranty but they will replace. Just posted in the mail today
Mine was 3 years old. They offered me a small discount on a new purchase from their website. I’m not planning on purchasing another ghd product again as I’ve have lost my confidence in this brand.
My ghd platinum heats up, and turns off but the sound that it makes when I power on/off does not sound off. Why?
Hello, my Ghd straighter has done exactly the same as all the previous comments above. Turns on and after 1 minute or less starts flashing red then won’t heat up. I have tried calling the Australian number and says they are training. How else do I get in contact with Ghd? If someone could contact me that would be great.
My partners Ghd platinum+ are bleeding and flashing red. She has followed the instructions but still bleeding and flashing. Please help me with a answer or what can be done
Hi my ghds are not working had them 3 years but hardly use them( just weekends looked after them well even still got box, the red light go on then when you push button makes a whizzing sound?? Gutted as I love them
I am having the same issue as everyone above. My less than 3 years old Platinum plus GHD straightener worth 395 AUD has broken and flashing red after wanting up one side. Never dropped and always kept in hard case. My old ghd pink limited edition ones lasted 10 years before dying! Simply they have made these cheaper and they don't last but they are more expensive! I want my replaced. This is not fair. I have tried to call the Australian number but it's not open it says they are training! So how can I get in contact with anyone. Please GHD send me an email or a Private message or contact me back. sarahmay2306@gmail.com
I had no luck with any reply or call back, so disappointing as they aren’t cheap. I purchased some cloud 9 straighteners and they are amazing
I have the exact same problem! Did you get an outcome? So frustrating when they are worth so much. I’ve always had a GHD but think I’ll have to look into cloud 9 if GHD no longer last!
Hi I've just purchased my new platform plus ghd and registered them but haven't received conformation that you received my registered ghds. What do I do? Lynda NZ
My GHD heats up then red light comes on with beeping ? Wat do I do
Hi my GHD Platinum have just stopped working. Beeping and flashing red light. I’m getting ready for a night out. Can this be fixed? They are out of warranty.
I don’t think so, I dropped mine and cracked a side of of it. Would you sell it for parts?
I’ve had my ghd platinum straightener for a couple years now, always taken care of and used maybe once a month. Today it has started beeping and flashing red. I’ve read that this is a known fault on this thread, if ghd can’t fix it has anybody had any shop or someone who can fix it? Or recommend another brand of straightener you love?
I read all these posts so I opened up my wife's ghd platinum plus I found where the board connects to ribbon cable just like a plug I pushed on a little further. I plugged it in back and now working!!
My platinum straighteners have developed exactly the problem others have described here and the official website says they are out of warranty and can’t be returned without proof of purchase. This is just not what you would expect from a global brand with loyal followers. Why has this product not been recalled given its shelf life is so limited? The cost of these should give gears of daily use. I am stuck with broken straighteners and no choice but to invest in another pair, so frustrated and frizzy right now I can’t tell you..
GHD Straightner is flashing red and is older than 3 years
Hello my platinum ghd are flashing and beeping and not heating up , can these be fixed ? If so how much would it cost ? Thankyou
What is the procedure for getting my GHD platinum straighteners fixed? I also have the same issue of when I switch them on it automatically flashes red and does a double beep sound. I’m extremely disappointed if this is a known product fault issue as I expect a well known brand such as GHD would stand for no less than excellence. I have had the straighteners for afew years now but I wouldn’t expect them to be “worn out” by now.
Yes I am furious its a known fault and nothing being done about it, mine died on my birthday coincidently was the exact day 3 years prior my husband got them for me. Seldom use maybe once a month if that and now I'm told no warranty sucks to be you... Well to me if its a known fault why were they not recalled or replaced grrrr
hi,
Did anyone sort out the issue of GHD red flashing and beeping. Having same problem. Annoying.
Hi , yes the store I bought it from exchanged it as it was only a few days old so I was lucky . How long have you had yours ?
unless your ghd is still under warranty you are stuck with a faulty straightener which is not repairable.
This is very dissapointing. Also got one thats not working due to red light flashing and beeping. Only 4 years old. And prices in South Africa are ridiculously high. My no name brand is older that 10 years and still working
I had mine more than 3 years, unfortunately out of warranty
Hello I have this same issue Im not sure how long Ive had my Platimum straightners, a couple of years maybe. Really disappointed as my last GHDs last about 10 years. Is there anything I can do? I dont have a proof of purchase I dont think.
My ghd is beeping and blinking red it heats up . Any one know what this could mean ?
