How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the socket is switched off before removing the plug. Do not work on live circuits.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Check wall socket: Plug in another appliance to confirm the socket has power. Reset any tripped breakers or RCDs.
- 2. Inspect plug and fuse (UK models): Open the plug (if not moulded) and check the fuse. Replace with the correct rating if blown. If it blows again immediately, there is an internal fault.
- 3. Examine power cord: Look for cuts, crushing, or burn marks along the cord. Replace the cord set if damaged.
- 4. Check mains filter: Unplug the machine, remove the rear panel, and locate the mains interference filter. Inspect for burns or bulging. Test continuity through the filter; replace if open or damaged.
- 5. PCB power supply: If power reaches the PCB but there is no display or response, the low-voltage power supply on the board may have failed. Replacement of the main PCB is usually required.
