Possible Causes
Tripped breaker or blown fuse, Faulty power cord, Open thermal fuse, Failed main control board power supply
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the breaker before inspecting the power cord or internal wiring.
- Check outlet and breaker: Verify the outlet has correct voltage with a meter and that the breaker is fully on.
- Inspect power cord: Check for cuts, burns, or loose connections at the terminal block on the dryer. Tighten screws and replace damaged cords.
- Test thermal fuse: Access and test the thermal fuse on the blower housing. Replace if open and clean the vent system.
If power is present at the control board but the display remains dead, the main control board is likely faulty and should be replaced.
