Possible Causes

Blown transformer, Tripped GFCI or breaker, Loose low-voltage connection, Failed controller board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not work on live electrical circuits. Unplug the transformer before inspection.

Power checks:

  • Verify the outlet has power and any GFCI is not tripped.
  • Inspect the transformer for damage or overheating.
  • Check the low-voltage plug at the controller for a secure connection.

Testing:

  • Use a multimeter to confirm the transformer output matches its rating.

Resolution: Replace a failed transformer. If power is present at the controller but the display remains blank, the controller board is likely damaged and should be replaced by a technician.
