Possible Causes
Blown internal line fuse, failed main control board, loose power cord connection, faulty power filter board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and verify the breaker is off before opening any panels. High voltage is present inside.
- Verify outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance or a meter to confirm proper voltage.
- Inspect power cord: Remove the rear cover where the cord enters. Check for loose connections or burnt terminals at the terminal block.
- Check internal fuse: Some Kenmore combos have an internal line fuse on the main control or power filter board. Access the top panel and inspect for a small glass or ceramic fuse. Test with a multimeter and replace only with the same rating if blown. Investigate for shorts before replacing.
- Control board: If power is present at the board but there is no response, the main control board is likely failed and must be replaced.
