Conair Cord-Keeper 169XR Cord Retracting Mechanism Replacement

Introduction

Having trouble with your Conair 169XR blowdryer cord retracting? This guide is for you if your cord will not retract at the bottom of your Conair blowdryer.

The retracting wheel retracts the cord into the bottom of the blowdryer. A faulty retracting wheel will not work when the "retract" button is pressed.

Make sure to power your Conair blowdryer off and disconnect from any external power sources before beginning to ensure safety.

Nicely done, just a suggestion, in Step #10 would suggest using fingers or flat object on top of spring when disengaging from frame …to ensure it won’t unravel and jump (as shown in 2nd picture + have some strong tape, string, wire ties, etc. to keep the spring wound up. This works for me when dealing with lawn mower recoil mechanism or tape measures. Tape measures are the worst to work on. lol - AHNauss
