Tripped breaker, faulty power outlet, damaged power cord, blown line fuse or line filter, failed main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry when working with electrical components. Turn off the breaker before opening panels.

  • Check household power: Verify the breaker is not tripped and the outlet has correct voltage using a meter or another appliance.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or loose connections at the cord entry. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Check line fuse/filter: Access the line filter and any internal fuse near the cord entry. Test the fuse for continuity and replace if blown. Inspect the filter for burns.
  • Control board: If power is present at the control board but there is no response, the board may be defective and require replacement.
  • Professional help: If you are not comfortable testing live voltage, contact a qualified technician.
