Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the wall socket is switched off before handling the plug. Do not open the machine while it is connected to mains.
User checks:
- Verify outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance to confirm it has power.
- Check plug and cable: Inspect the Dualit power cord for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace the cord if damaged.
- Check power switch: Ensure the main power rocker switch (if fitted) is firmly in the ON position.
Internal checks (advanced):
- Inspect internal fuse: Unplug the machine, remove the cover, and locate the fuse on the PCB or near the mains inlet. Test with a multimeter and replace only with the exact same rating.
- Check for visible damage: Look for burnt components or tracks on the main PCB. If present, the board must be replaced.
Warning: Mains voltage is dangerous. If you are not trained in electrical safety, do not attempt internal repairs; contact a professional technician.
