Possible Causes
Tripped house breaker, Faulty power cord, Burned terminal block, Failed main control board power supply
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the breaker before inspecting the terminal block.
Step-by-step checks:
- Verify outlet power: Use a multimeter to confirm correct voltage at the outlet (for electric models, ~240 VAC).
- Inspect terminal block: Remove the rear cover and inspect the terminal block where the power cord connects. Look for burned or melted connections.
- Check power cord: Test continuity of each conductor in the power cord. Replace if damaged.
- Control board: If power is present at the terminal block but the control is dead, access the main control board and check for incoming voltage. If present but no LEDs or response, replace the control board.
Warning: High voltage is present; if unsure, contact a professional.
