Possible Causes
Tripped circuit breaker, Faulty wall outlet, Blown internal thermal fuse, Failed main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Before opening the unit, ensure power is off at the breaker.
- Check household power: Verify the circuit breaker is not tripped and the outlet has power by testing with another appliance.
- Inspect power cord: Ensure the power cord is firmly plugged in and not damaged.
- Door position: Confirm the door is fully closed; some models will not power the controls with the door open.
- Internal fuse: If you are qualified, remove the inner door panel and check for an inline thermal fuse or line fuse on the control board. Replace only with the exact rated part if blown.
If power is present at the outlet and fuses are intact, the main control board may have failed and should be replaced by a technician.
