How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips immediately. This indicates a potentially dangerous fault.

Step 1 – Basic checks

  • Try a different outlet on a different circuit to rule out a weak breaker (do not use extension cords).
  • If a GFCI trips instantly, suspect a ground fault.

Step 2 – Inspect cord and plug

  • Check for cuts, crushed sections, or exposed wires.
  • Replace the power cord if any damage is found.

Step 3 – Internal inspection (advanced)

  • Open the housing (unplugged).
  • Inspect the heating element and wiring for contact with the metal chassis.
  • Look for moisture, corrosion, or burned spots.

Step 4 – Dry and repair

  • If moisture is present, allow the unit to dry completely for 24–48 hours in a warm, dry place before retesting.
  • Replace any damaged wiring or components that show signs of arcing.
  • If the breaker still trips, discontinue use and have the unit professionally serviced or replaced.
