Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before any disassembly. Mains voltage is present inside even when the unit appears dead.
Basic user checks:
- Outlet and breaker: Test the outlet with another appliance. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
- Power cord: Inspect the cord for cuts or burn marks. Try a different outlet without an extension cord.
Internal checks (advanced):
- Access power entry: Remove rear/bottom cover to expose the power cord connection and fuse (if present).
- Check internal fuse: Locate the glass or ceramic fuse on the power board. Test with a meter and replace with the same rating if open.
- Inspect thermal fuse: Some models route power through a thermal fuse near the heater. Test for continuity; replace if open.
- Check power switch/touch board: For models with a mechanical switch, test continuity when switched on. For touch panels, verify the low-voltage supply from the power board to the panel.
When to stop: If fuses blow again immediately or you find burnt components on the board, discontinue use and replace the control/power board or consult a technician.
