Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cleaner before any disassembly. If you are not comfortable working with mains wiring, contact a professional.
- Verify power source: Test the wall outlet with another device. Avoid using multi-way adapters or extension leads during diagnosis.
- Inspect power cord: Check the Ewbank cord for cuts, flattening, or exposed copper. Flex the cord gently near the plug and machine entry; if power cuts in and out, the cord is faulty and must be replaced.
- Check power switch: Access the switch by removing the upper housing. Ensure the spade connectors are tight. Replace the switch if it is loose, cracked, or does not click.
- Internal fuse: If visible on the control board, inspect the fuse. Replace only with the same rating. If it blows again, stop and seek professional repair.
Persistent no-power conditions after these checks usually indicate a failed control PCB or motor and should be handled by a technician.
