Safety warning: Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips instantly. Turn it off and leave it off until the cause is found.

• Check for jam: With power off, inspect the chamber and free any jam using the bottom hex socket.
• Inspect wiring: Look for visible damage to the power cord and wiring compartment. Do not touch bare wires.
• Check for moisture: Look for signs of water inside or around the wiring cover. Resolve any leaks before further testing.
• Professional diagnosis: If the rotor spins freely and wiring appears intact, the motor windings may be shorted and the unit should be replaced or serviced by a technician.
