Shorting hair straightener

[Malinga the professor]

Good afternoon. I have a Remington hair straightener which is shorting on the pcb and it fries even the Current passage. Can anyone help to solve this problem?

Have you checked to see if the element is shorted or theres another short somewhere ese, the tracks would only do that if you had a lot of power going through them.

I have checked both upper and lower elements with a multimeter and they're not shorted and on the pcb there's no sign of fuse or any protector. I have two of these appliances with the same problem

There must be a short somewhere to fry the tracks, secomnd thing to look at is the wires that carry power from one side to the other, maybe flexing has causing them to short.
I'm surprised the plug fuse didnt expire before the track fried.

I'll try to check all the cables once again though I checked the upper ones were showing about 75ohms from the upper element resistance and the lower was showing the same and no continuity beep from the multimeter.

Might be when you move things around something makes contact that shouldnt.
