This Braun Satin Hair 3 hairdryer is disassembled to the point one can easily reach the electronic parts. No soldering is needed to reverse this guide. However, this also means this guide does not describe any repairing of the electronic parts.

Do never open it…
It’s a disaster!
Thanks a lot. It’s hard to disassemble without cosmetic damage(
Thanks a lot. It worked for me. It's a shame they don't make it with a removable rear guard to remove hair build up on the fan. A bit of cosmetic damage but cleaned up with a sharp knife
Good job, exactly the info I needed. I would say difficulty is higher as it is almost impossible to execute this without damaging the edges.
Thanks a lot for the great description. I succeeded in repairing my hairdryer. The fan stopped spinning at the highest speed due to hairs caught in it. I removed them. Btw. I used tools for reparing a mobile phone which were very useful. I will add some pictures where I put crosses on the casing just to get an idea where the snap-fit caps are located. It helps to concentrate on these areas. I also succeeded in not breaking the snap-fit cap : )
