Possible Causes
Tripped breaker or blown fuse, Faulty outlet, Damaged power cord, Failed electronic control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Do not work on live circuits. Use a non-contact voltage tester if available.
- Step 1 – Check breaker and outlet: Reset the circuit breaker. Test the outlet with another appliance or a tester.
- Step 2 – Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections on the power cord. If damaged, replace the cord or have it serviced.
- Step 3 – Test internal fuse (if equipped): Some Gladiator models have an internal line fuse on the control board. Unplug the unit, access the board, and check the fuse for continuity. Replace only with the same rating.
- Step 4 – Replace control board: If power reaches the board but nothing powers on, the electronic control board is likely failed.
