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

Safety first: Ensure the circuit breaker is off before inspecting the power connection.

• Check mains supply: Verify that other appliances on the same outlet or circuit work. Reset the breaker or replace the fuse if necessary.
• Inspect power cord and plug: Look for cuts, burns, or loose connections. Replace the cord if damaged.
• Examine terminal block: Remove the rear cover at the cord entry. Check for burned or loose terminals. Tighten screws and replace any melted components.
• Test power at PCB: With appropriate safety precautions and a multimeter, verify that mains voltage reaches the main PCB. If voltage is present but the board is dead, the PCB power supply is likely faulty and requires replacement.
