Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse on control board, Faulty power cord, Defective power switch, Failed main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Verify the outlet is working by testing with another appliance.

  • Check outlet and breaker: Confirm the circuit breaker is not tripped and the outlet has proper voltage.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. If damaged, replace the cord immediately.
  • Test power switch: With the unit unplugged, access the power switch and check that the terminals are firmly connected. A loose spade connector can prevent power-up.
  • Internal fuse (advanced): Some SPT models have a small fuse on the control board. Remove the cover, locate the fuse, and test with a multimeter. Replace only with the same rating.
  • If still dead: The main control board may be faulty and require replacement by a qualified technician.
