How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Always turn off the circuit breaker before inspecting the outlet or wiring if you suspect electrical issues.
Steps:
- Check outlet: Plug a lamp or other small appliance into the same outlet to confirm power. Reset any GFCI outlets or breakers if tripped.
- Inspect power cord: Examine the Kenmore power cord for cuts, burns, or crushed areas. Replace the power cord if damaged.
- Test power at control board: If comfortable with electrical work, remove the rear cover and use a multimeter to verify that AC voltage reaches the main control board input. Only do this if you understand live-voltage safety.
- Replace main control board: If power reaches the board but there is no response, the board's power supply is likely failed. Replace the main control board with the correct part.
Call a professional if you are not comfortable working with live electrical circuits.
