Possible Causes

Tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse, Faulty power cord or plug, Loose connections at terminal block, Failed main control board fuse

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off the breaker before inspecting wiring. Do not bypass fuses.

  • Check building power: Verify the outlet has correct voltage using a known-good appliance or a meter. Reset any tripped breaker and replace blown fuses with correct rating.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or loose plug blades. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Check terminal block: Remove the front panel and inspect the power terminal block for loose screws or burned terminals. Tighten and replace damaged parts.
  • Inspect internal fuse: Many Hoshizaki boards have a small fuse. With power off, remove and test for continuity. Replace only with the same type and rating.

When to call a technician: If power is present at the terminal block but the unit remains dead, the control board or transformer may have failed.
