Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Before working on electrical components, ensure the circuit is de-energized at the breaker panel.
- Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another device. Reset any tripped GFCI or breaker.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace if damaged.
- Access main PCB: Remove the rear panel and open the control board cover.
- Visual inspection: Look for blown fuses on the PCB (if present), burnt components, or discoloration.
If the outlet and cord are good but the unit remains dead, the main control board is likely faulty and should be replaced by a qualified technician.
