Possible Causes

Tripped household breaker or blown fuse, Faulty power cord, Failed line filter or noise filter board, Defective main control board power supply section

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not open live electrical panels. Unplug the unit before internal inspection.

  • Check household power: Verify the circuit breaker is not tripped and the outlet has correct voltage using another appliance or a tester.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage, burns, or loose plug blades. Replace if damaged.
  • Test outlet: Plug the washer-dryer into a different known-good outlet (if cord length and safety allow).
  • Internal checks (advanced): With the unit unplugged, remove the rear or top panel and inspect the line filter board where the cord enters. Look for burnt components or loose connections.
  • When to replace parts: Replace a damaged power cord or line filter board. If power reaches the main control board but there is still no display, the main control board likely needs replacement by a technician.
