Possible Causes

Blown household fuse or tripped breaker, Faulty power cord, Defective mains filter or terminal block, Failed main control board power supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Before opening the dryer, ensure the circuit is off at the breaker panel.

  • Check external power:
    • Test the wall outlet with another appliance.
    • Reset any tripped breakers or replace blown fuses.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage; if damaged, replace the cord with the correct Bauknecht-rated part.
  • Internal checks (advanced):
    • Remove the top cover.
    • Inspect the mains filter and terminal block for burnt connections.
    • Tighten loose screws and replace burnt components.
  • Control board: If power reaches the board but the display remains off, the board's power supply may have failed and require replacement.

Warning: Mains voltage is dangerous. If you are not trained, seek professional assistance.
