How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the unit is unplugged before opening any panels. Do not bypass safety fuses.

  • Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance. Reset any tripped breakers.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or loose plug blades. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Check power switch: If your Tower model has a mechanical power switch, verify it clicks and is not loose or broken. Test continuity with a multimeter and replace if open.
  • Internal fuse: Remove the rear panel and locate the fuse on the main control PCB. If blown, investigate for shorts (burnt wiring, water intrusion) before replacing with the exact same rating.
  • Control PCB: If the fuse is good and power is present at the board but the unit remains dead, replace the main control PCB.
