Possible Causes

Blown internal fuse on main PCB, Faulty power cord, Tripped household circuit breaker, Failed main control board power supply

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the outlet is not live before touching bare conductors. Unplug the unit before opening any panels.

  • Check outlet and breaker: Test the outlet with another appliance and reset any tripped breakers or RCDs.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage. If damaged, replace the cord with a compatible Balay power cord.
  • Access main PCB: Remove the rear lower panel and locate the board. Check the onboard fuse and replace only with the same rating if blown. If it blows again immediately, there is a short that needs professional diagnosis.
  • Board replacement: If the fuse is intact but no low-voltage output is present (no display, no relays), the PCB power supply is likely failed and the board should be replaced.
