Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse on power input board, Faulty mains power cord or plug, Failed low-voltage power supply section on control PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the socket is switched off before plugging or unplugging. Unplug the cooker before opening any covers.

Steps to diagnose:

  • Check outlet and plug: Test the wall socket with another appliance. Inspect the Morphy Richards plug and cable for cuts, kinks, or burn marks.
  • Inspect internal fuse: Remove the base cover and locate the small glass or ceramic fuse near the mains input on the PCB. Remove it and test for continuity with a multimeter. If blown, replace with the same rating (amperage and type).
  • Look for surge damage: Examine the power input area for burnt components or tracks. If present, the control PCB likely needs replacement.
  • Check low-voltage output: If you have electronics experience, measure the DC output from the power supply section (often 5 V or 12 V) on the PCB. No output indicates a failed supply.
  • Replace faulty parts: Replace the mains cord if damaged, or the entire control PCB if the power supply is defective.

Warning: Mains-voltage work is hazardous. If unsure, consult a qualified technician.
