Possible Causes
Failed power transformer, Loose low-voltage connector, Blown internal fuse (if equipped), Dead control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the transformer from the outlet before inspecting the control head.
Steps to check:
- 1. Test outlet: Plug another device into the outlet to confirm it has power.
- 2. Check transformer output: Use a multimeter to measure the low-voltage output of the Whirlpool transformer. Replace if no output.
- 3. Inspect connectors: Ensure the low-voltage plug is fully seated in the control head. Check for corrosion or damage.
- 4. Replace control board: If the transformer is good and connections are secure but the display remains blank, the control board is likely failed and must be replaced.
When to call a technician: If you are not comfortable testing electrical components, contact a professional.
