Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Before any work, ensure the outlet is not live by unplugging the unit. Do not bypass fuses or safety devices.
Steps to restore power:
- Check outlet: Test the wall outlet with another appliance to confirm it has power. Reset any tripped breakers or GFCI outlets.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace the cord if damaged.
- Access control PCB: Remove the control cover and inspect the board for a blown fuse (if user-serviceable) or burnt components.
- Replace fuse: If a fuse is visibly blown and is in a user-accessible holder, replace it with the exact same type and rating. If it blows again immediately, a deeper fault exists.
- Control board replacement: If the power supply section of the PCB is damaged, replace the main control PCB.
Warning: Do not attempt to repair the power supply circuitry at component level unless you are qualified; risk of electric shock and fire.
