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

Safety first: Ensure the circuit is off before inspecting plugs or terminals.

• Check outlet and fuse: Test the wall socket with another appliance. Check and replace the plug fuse (UK models) with the correct rating if blown.
• Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace if damaged.
• Check internal terminal block: Remove the rear cover over the mains connection and ensure all screws are tight and wires are secure.
• Control panel check: If power is present at the terminal block but the display is dead, the main PCB or interface may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
