I had the same issue with the two I have had. It’s so frustrating

I gave the "neck"a little twist to the right and that got it going

I have the same issue too. When traveling Norway, my Conair rolling hair dryer had much more power and heat than when home in the US. It was faster and wonderful, but it quit rolling on day 2.

I fixed mine through determination. Mine had 2 tiny caps on the side of the upper handle. After I managed to pry them off I found two screws. Undid those and the brush came off. There is a very s air rectangular shaft inside and I think it had come unlocked. Tried it before I put tiny screws back in. It is working fine now. No, the top cap does not come off mine. Turned out to be a simple fix if you can get those two tiny plastic caps off.

It is probably stuck with hair.

Twist the top cap counter clockwise just a bit to unlock it.

Remove the cap and remove any hair.

If you unscrew the the small bolt on the top, you can remove the brush and take away the remaining hair.

It started spinning slowly, I let it spin for a couple of minutes and It started working again.

I have bc178 for about 4 years of not heavy use and from last year randomly it won't spin until I help turning it by hand than it start strong without stop unless I changed the rotation.

Now it becomes very weak and lost it's torque.

I disassemble it and there where no hair involved.

For disassemble in below order,

Two black cap for screw on base of brush and the two screws, brush, the black plastic ring at where brash attached to body, air intake cap and ring, cord ring, cord, black piece that main key is on it by poping it from cord side. Than the rest separate into two.

The motor is 24v brushed equipped with a gearbox. Quick search find it only on Alibaba and not selling for consumers.

Need to redo the soldering and loose two screw on motor housing to remove the motor assembly from heating element.

Didn't find and cosmetic damage and discoloration on electronics.

I am thinking of both bad diode that kill the current at motor and the motor brushes. Than the short brush doesn't have anything with low torque.
