How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Always disconnect power at the outlet or breaker before opening the unit.

Steps:

  • Check outlet and breaker: Test the outlet with another appliance. Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Check internal fuse: Remove the front or side panel to access the main control board. Look for a small glass or ceramic fuse. Test with a multimeter and replace with the same type and rating if blown.
  • Control board: If the fuse is good and power is present at the board but the unit is dead, the main PCB may be faulty and should be replaced.
