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.
