Possible Causes
Blown mains fuse or tripped breaker, Faulty power cord, Failed mains filter / interference suppressor, Faulty main control board power supply
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If you suspect a short or burning smell, do not re‑energise the dryer until inspected.
Steps to check:
- Check outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance to confirm power is present.
- Inspect plug and cord: Look for burn marks, cuts, or loose pins. Replace the cord set if damaged.
- Check fuse/breaker: Replace a blown plug fuse (UK) with the correct rating. Reset any tripped breaker once only; if it trips again, there is a fault.
- Access mains filter: With power disconnected, remove the top or rear panel and locate the mains filter (often near the cord entry). Check for burning or bulging. Replace if damaged.
