My Pibbs Broke :(

[junipertree]

the hood part. It fell and the plastic broke off. Does anyone know if you can buy replacement parts to fix it? Or do I have to buy a whole new one? I've had mine for about 8 years so it has more than paid for itself but I would really prefer not spending $300+ for a new one if I don't have to...any suggestions?

You have my condolences... R.I.P junipertree's Pibbs.

I would cry I love my pibbs. I hope you an get it fixed. You had a great run at only $37.50/year.

I brought my pibbs in 2008 and about 2 years later, the blower stopped working. I SOMEHOW found the email address to the company and they told me I could ship it to them to get fixed and they would ship it back. Not sure if that's possible in your situation but I figured I'd share.

Here's the email I sent it to -

Here's where he told me to send it:

Please ship dryer to

Turbo Power

ServiceCenter

31-40 Downing Street

FlushingNY11354

Again, this was in 2010 so I have no idea if it still applies.

HTH

@tapioca_pudding Thanks! I will at least try that!

They should be able to replace the plastic. I don't have a pibbs but when my hair dryer broke (fell on my wood floor and the pull down visor cracked and shattered to pieces) I emailed them a picture and they sent me a replacement part. I'm sure pibbs would do this.

 

[junipertree]

^^^ I hope so! I just emailed them so I will see what they say.... Fingers crossed

I think you can get a visor for it. I bought mine from a member here years ago and the visor was cracked (or I cracked it,don't remember) DH glued it and it's been ok ever since. RIP Pibbs, I'll give a hug to mine today

@tapioca_pudding Thanks for the tip! I was told to call the 800 number and they have a replacement hood for $59....I get it next week!

@danysedai It wasn't just the visor...it was the whole plastic part that swivels around but thank goodness I'm going to able to revive it....no RIP yet! Lol

I need to call about a broken knob. Thanks for this info.

 

[junipertree]

My hood came in this past week! The install was crazy easy and I'm sitting under my pibbs right now....

Thanks again @tapioca_pudding

I ordered a replacement 514 Pibbs dryer from United Salon Supplies. It arrived without a stand and broken. This dryer cost me $312.95. I have sent them an email and will be contacting my credit card company.
