How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off the breaker before inspecting the terminal block or internal wiring.

  • Check house power:

    • Test the outlet for correct voltage.
  • Inspect power cord and terminal block:
    • Unplug the dryer and remove the terminal block cover.
    • Check for loose or burnt connections; repair or replace as needed.
  • Check internal fuses/limiters:
