Possible Causes

Blown plug fuse (UK models), Faulty mains power cord, Open internal fuse on power board, Failed main control PCB power supply section

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the unit is unplugged before opening any covers. Do not bypass fuses with wire or foil.

  • Check wall socket: Test the outlet with another appliance to confirm it is live.
  • Inspect plug fuse: On UK Salter models, open the plug and test/replace the cartridge fuse with the correct rating (typically 13A).
  • Examine power cord: Look for visible damage. If the cord is cut, frayed, or burnt, replace it with a compatible Salter power cord.
  • Access internal fuse: Remove the base cover to locate any inline or PCB‑mounted fuses. Test with a multimeter and replace with the same type and rating if blown.
  • Check for burnt components: Inspect the main PCB for burnt tracks or components in the power supply area. If present, replace the entire PCB.
  • If still dead: A non‑responsive unit after these checks usually indicates a failed main control PCB; replacement or professional repair is required.
