Possible Causes

Tripped circuit breaker, Loose power cord connection, Failed power supply section of control board, Faulty on/off switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Before opening panels, ensure the breaker is off when checking internal wiring.

  • Step 1 – Check outlet and breaker: Plug a lamp or tester into the outlet to confirm power. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
  • Step 2 – Inspect power cord: Verify the cord is fully inserted and not damaged. Replace if the insulation is cut or the plug is loose.
  • Step 3 – Test on/off switch: Access the switch behind the control panel and test for continuity when switched on. Replace if open.
  • Step 4 – Control board power check: With power applied (only if you are trained), verify line voltage at the control board input. If present but the board is unresponsive, replace the main control board.
