How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Before opening the unit, verify power at the outlet with a known-good device. Unplug the washer-dryer before removing panels.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Check breaker and outlet: Reset the breaker and test the outlet with a lamp or meter. Avoid using GFCI outlets if they trip frequently.
- 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or loose connections where the cord enters the unit. Replace if damaged.
- 3. Access control area: Remove the top panel and inspect the main control board power connector. Ensure it is fully seated.
- 4. Internal fuse (if present): Some models have a line fuse or thermal fuse on the control board or wiring harness. Test for continuity and replace if open, but also investigate what caused it to blow.
- 5. Control board: If power is present at the board but there is no response, the main control board may be defective and require replacement.
