Hallo!
In my hair dryer happens a strange thing:
after about 10 minutes the wheel goes out and makes a big noise.
I push it again inside, but after 10-20 min it happens again!
What could it be?
Thank you!

I'm a bit confused as to what you mean by wheel? You mean the fan?

Is the fan slipping on the shaft? I'd try a drop of superglue.

The fan wheel? take it off the motor, then use some sandpaper to rough up
the motor
shaft a bit, it should feel tighter when the fan is put back on.
glue it, and it should stay.

Yes! It is the fan wheel!
It is attached without glue, but by friction...
Maybe I'll try with superglue.
Thank you!
