Possible Causes

Blown fuse, Unplugged or faulty Cillit power adapter, Tripped circuit breaker, Failed internal power supply on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Work only on de‑energized circuits unless you are qualified. Use a voltage tester.

  • Check outlet: Verify that the wall socket or fused spur has power by plugging in another device.
  • Inspect power adapter: Check the Cillit low‑voltage power adapter and cable for damage. Replace if warm, noisy, or physically damaged.
  • Check fuse: Some models have an internal fuse on the PCB. Disconnect power, open the cover, and inspect/replace the fuse with the same rating.
  • Measure low‑voltage output: Use a multimeter to confirm the adapter outputs the correct voltage to the controller.
  • Replace PCB: If correct voltage is present but the display remains dead, the Cillit main control PCB is likely faulty.
