Possible Causes

Blown internal line fuse, Faulty power cord, Defective main control board, Loose power connector at PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer-dryer before opening any panels. Only qualified persons should work on live circuits.

  • Verify outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance or a voltage tester to confirm power is present.
  • Inspect power cord: Check for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Access main PCB: Remove the top or rear cover to locate the main control board. Look for an inline fuse or board-mounted fuse. If blown, identify and correct the cause (shorted component) before replacing.
  • Check connectors: Ensure the main power connector from the cord to the PCB is fully seated and not burnt.
  • Board replacement: If fuses and wiring are intact but the unit remains dead, the main control board is likely faulty and should be replaced.
