Possible Causes
Loose power cord connection, Intermittent thermal cutoff, Faulty on/off switch, Control board detecting internal fault and resetting
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before internal inspection.
- 1. Check external power:
- Ensure the plug fits tightly in the outlet and that no power strip switch is cycling.
- 2. Inspect on/off switch:
- Test the switch for intermittent contact by wiggling gently (with power disconnected) and checking continuity.
- Replace the switch if readings are unstable.
- 3. Test thermal cutoff:
- Locate the thermal fuse and test for continuity; if it opens intermittently when warm, replace it.
- 4. Evaluate control board:
- If hardware checks out, the control board may be resetting due to internal faults; replace the main control PCB.
