Possible Causes

Tripped circuit breaker, Faulty power cord, Failed main control board, Loose internal power connections

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Before opening any panels, confirm power is off at the breaker. Only work on live circuits if you are qualified.

Steps:

  • Check outlet and breaker: Verify the outlet has power by plugging in another device. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Check internal connections: With power disconnected, remove the rear or lower panel and inspect the terminal block and wiring harness for loose or burnt connections.
  • Test main control board: If power is present at the board but the unit is dead, the board may have failed and should be replaced with a Café OEM board.
