Possible Causes

Low supply voltage, Failing heater relay coil, Faulty SMPS on main PCB, Loose mains connections, Overcurrent protection cycling

Safety first: Unplug before internal inspection.

Outlet and cord: Ensure a solid connection to a proper wall outlet. Avoid loose adapters.
Inspect mains wiring: Tighten all mains terminals and check the EMI line filter for damage.
Board inspection: Look for heat damage around the heater relay and power supply components on the main control board. Replace the board if relay chatter persists.
Heater check: Verify the heater is not shorted or drawing excessive current, which can cause rapid cycling.
