Possible Causes

Blown mains fuse, Faulty mains filter (EMI filter), Defective on/off switch, Failed main control board power supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the wall socket is switched off before checking plugs or fuses. Do not work on live circuits.

  • Check outlet and fuse: Test the wall socket with another appliance. Inspect and replace the plug fuse if blown (where applicable).
  • Inspect mains cable: Look for cuts or crushing. Replace the cable if damaged.
  • Check mains filter: Access the mains filter module inside the machine (usually near the cable entry). Look for burn marks or bulging. Replace if faulty.
  • Test on/off switch: Use a multimeter to confirm continuity when switched on. Replace the switch if it does not close properly.

If power still does not reach the control board, the PCB's internal power supply is likely failed and the board should be replaced by a professional.
