Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse on PCB, Faulty power cord, Defective power inlet socket, Failed low-voltage power supply on main PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Verify the wall outlet works with another appliance. Unplug the cooker before opening any covers.

  • Check external factors: Ensure the outlet has power and that any wall switches or breakers are on. Avoid using extension cords.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage. If the cord is detachable, try another compatible OBH Nordica cord if available.
  • Open base and check fuse: Remove the bottom cover and locate the small glass or ceramic fuse on the main PCB near the power input. If it appears blown (broken filament or blackened), replace it with the same type and rating.
  • Examine power inlet: Ensure the inlet socket is firmly mounted and that wires are not loose or burnt.
  • Test: Reassemble and plug in. If there is still no response and the new fuse blows again, there is likely a short on the PCB or heating circuit that requires professional diagnosis.

Warning: Never bypass the internal fuse with wire or foil; this removes critical protection.
