Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse on control PCB, Faulty mains power cord, Failed power supply section of main control PCB, Loose internal power connector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug from the wall before opening the housing. If you are not comfortable working with mains voltage, seek professional help.

Steps to diagnose no power:

  • Check outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance to confirm it supplies power.
  • Inspect power cord: Examine the Russell Hobbs power cord for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace if damaged.
  • Access control PCB: Remove the rear or bottom panel to access the main control PCB. Look for an onboard fuse (often glass or ceramic). If visibly blown, replace with the same rating.
  • Check connectors: Ensure the power cord leads and any internal connectors to the PCB are firmly seated.
  • Look for damage: Inspect the PCB for burnt components or bulging capacitors. If present, the board should be replaced.

If replacing the fuse does not restore power, the main control PCB or internal power supply is likely faulty and should be replaced as a complete module.
