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.
