Dryer will not start at all; no lights or display when the power button is pressed.

Safety first: Ensure the socket is switched off before unplugging or testing.

Basic checks:

• Test the wall socket with another appliance.
• Check the plug fuse (where applicable) and replace with the correct rating if blown.
• Inspect the power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks.

Internal checks (qualified persons):

• With power disconnected, remove the top cover and check the mains filter and wiring to the main PCB.
• Test the on/off switch or power button PCB for continuity when pressed.
• If power reaches the PCB but there is no low-voltage output, the board's power supply is likely faulty.

Replacing the main control board or mains filter should be done by a technician if you are not experienced with mains electronics.
