Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not open live electrical parts while the machine is plugged in. Always unplug before inspection.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Check outlet and fuse: Test the wall socket with another appliance. Reset any tripped breakers. If using a fused plug, check and replace the fuse if blown.
- 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks in the mains cable. Replace if damaged.
- 3. Check mains filter: Remove the rear panel and locate the mains interference filter where the cord enters. Inspect for burn marks or bulging. Replace if faulty.
- 4. Control module: If power reaches the filter but the display remains dead, the power module may have failed and require replacement.
When to call a technician: If you are not experienced with mains voltage diagnostics, contact a professional.
