Ice maker does not power on, display is blank, no lights or sounds.

Safety first: Unplug the Candy ice maker from the wall outlet before opening any panels. Do not work on live circuits.

• Check the outlet: Plug in a lamp or another appliance to confirm the wall socket has power. If not, reset the breaker or use a different outlet.
• Inspect the power cord: Look for cuts, burn marks, or kinks. If the cord is damaged, do not use the unit until the cord is replaced.
• Check the power switch: With the unit unplugged, toggle the power switch several times. If it feels loose or does not click, it may be faulty and require replacement.
• Access the control board: Remove the rear or side service panel (usually held by Phillips screws). Locate the main PCB and check for a small glass or ceramic fuse. If the fuse is visibly blown (blackened or broken filament), replace it with the same rating (amperage and type).
• Inspect the PCB: Look for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or scorch marks. If present, the control board is likely defective and should be replaced as a complete assembly.
• Reassemble and test: Refit the panels, plug the unit back in, and turn it on. If still dead after fuse and cord checks, the main PCB or power switch likely needs professional replacement.
