Machine does not power on at all; no lights or display, Philips coffee maker appears completely dead.

Safety: Always unplug the coffee maker before any inspection. Do not attempt live-voltage measurements unless you are trained.

• Check wall outlet: Test the outlet with another device. Avoid using multi-plug adapters or long extension cords.
• Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. If damaged, replace the cord with a compatible Philips-rated cord.
• Check main switch: On models with a mechanical power switch, toggle it several times. Sometimes oxidation can cause poor contact.
• Internal fuse (advanced): If comfortable opening appliances, remove the housing and locate the fuse on the power board. Replace only with the same rating and type. If it blows again, stop and seek professional service.

If there is still no sign of life, the power supply or main control board is likely defective and should be replaced by a Philips-authorized technician.
