How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before opening. If you are not experienced with mains voltage, seek professional service.
- Check outlet and cord: Test the wall outlet with another appliance. Inspect the power cord for cuts or kinks. Replace the power cord if damaged.
- Inspect internal fuse: Remove the bottom cover and locate the small glass or ceramic fuse on the power input or control board. Test it with a multimeter for continuity. Replace with the same rating if blown.
- Check thermal fuse: Test the thermal fuse attached to the heating plate for continuity. If open, replace it with an identical temperature and current rating.
- Examine control board: Look for burnt components or bulging capacitors on the main control PCB. If present, the board should be replaced.
