Possible Causes

Open heating element, Burned heater wiring, Failed heater relay on control board, Open thermal fuse

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug and allow the unit to cool completely before opening. Heating circuits carry dangerous voltage.

  • Check settings: Confirm that a temperature above room temperature is selected and that the timer is set.
  • Inspect heater: Access the heating element and look for breaks or burn marks in the coil.
  • Test thermal fuse: Locate the thermal fuse near the heater and test for continuity. Replace if open.
  • Measure element resistance: Use a multimeter to check the element. Replace if open.
  • Control board: If the element and fuse are good, the heater relay or triac on the control board is likely faulty; replace the main control PCB.
