How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Power troubleshooting involves live voltage; if unsure, contact an electrician.

  • Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance or a multimeter to confirm voltage is present.
  • Reset breaker: Check the home's electrical panel and reset any tripped breaker supplying the dryer.
  • Inspect power cord: Unplug the dryer and inspect the cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace if damaged.
  • Check terminal block: Remove the rear cover over the power connection. Tighten any loose screws and look for burnt wires. Repair or replace damaged parts.
  • Test power filter board: If voltage reaches the dryer but the control is dead, the power filter/EMI board or main control may be faulty and should be tested and replaced as needed.
