Possible Causes
Loose mains plug connection, Faulty power switch contacts, Broken conductor inside power cord, Loose spade connectors on motor or PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before inspection.
- Check plug fit: Ensure the plug fits firmly in the outlet. Try a different outlet to rule out a loose socket.
- Wiggle test: With the unit unplugged, flex the cord near the plug and entry point. If you previously noticed shutoff when moving the cord, replace the cord set.
- Inspect internal connections: Open the housing and check all spade and plug connectors on the power switch, motor, and PCB. Tighten or crimp loose terminals.
- Replace worn switch: If the switch feels loose or crackles when toggled, replace it.
