Possible Causes
Open L1 or L2 leg at breaker, loose connection at terminal block, incorrect 120/240 V supply wiring, burned power cord terminal
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: This involves live 240 V circuits. Turn off power at the breaker and use a qualified electrician if you are not experienced.
- Check breaker: Ensure the double-pole breaker feeding the Café range is fully ON. Reset if tripped.
- Inspect terminal block: With power OFF, remove the rear cover at the cord connection. Look for burned wires or loose screws at the terminal block.
- Tighten connections: Tighten any loose terminal screws and replace any burned wiring or lugs.
- Verify voltage: With power ON and using a multimeter, verify 240 V between L1 and L2, and ~120 V from each leg to neutral. If readings are incorrect, contact an electrician.
- Replace damaged parts: Replace a burned power cord or terminal block as needed.
