Possible Causes

Tripped circuit breaker, blown internal fuse on control board, faulty power cord, failed main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Always unplug the unit before opening any panels. Do not bypass fuses with wire or foil.

Steps:

  • Check outlet: Plug a lamp or tester into the same outlet to confirm power. Reset any tripped GFCI or breaker.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or melted areas. If damaged, replace the entire cord set with a Keystone-compatible assembly.
  • Access control compartment: Remove the front panel to access the main PCB. Look for an onboard glass or blade fuse. Test with a multimeter and replace with the same rating if blown.
  • Board inspection: If the fuse blows again immediately or the board shows burn marks, the main control board or another component may be shorted and require professional diagnosis.
