How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Always unplug before inspecting plugs or opening the machine.
- Check socket and fuse: Test the wall socket with another appliance. Replace the plug fuse with a new, correct-rated fuse if blown.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Flex the cord gently near the plug and machine entry; if power cuts in/out, replace the cord.
- Test on/off switch: Access the switch and test continuity with a multimeter. Replace if it does not close when switched on.
- Check internal wiring: Inspect for loose spade connectors or broken wires between the cord, switch, and motor/PCB. Repair or replace the wiring loom as needed.
