Possible Causes

Shorted heating element, Shorted fan motor, Damaged mains filter or varistor, Control board overcurrent protection triggering

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug immediately if you see smoke, smell burning, or hear popping noises.

  • Visual inspection: Remove the cover and inspect the heater, fan motor, and power board for burn marks or melted insulation.
  • Isolate components: Disconnect the heater and fan motor one at a time and test continuity. A very low resistance to earth/ground or between live and neutral may indicate a short.
  • Check mains filter: Inspect the input filter board for cracked MOVs (varistors) or burnt components.
  • Replace failed parts: Replace any shorted heater, fan motor, or damaged filter components with Lakeland-approved parts.
  • Control board: If all loads test normal but P1 persists, the main PCB's current sensing circuit may be faulty and require replacement.

Warning: Overcurrent faults can be serious. If you are not confident in electrical diagnosis, consult a qualified appliance technician.
