How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Before opening any panels, ensure the unit is unplugged. Do not work on live circuits.
Steps to restore power:
- 1. Check outlet and breaker: Test the outlet with another device. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
- 2. Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage, cuts, or burn marks. Replace the cord if damaged.
- 3. Verify cord connection: On some models, the cord plugs into a junction box or terminal block inside the rear compartment. Ensure this connection is secure (with power disconnected).
- 4. Main control board check: If the outlet and cord are good but the unit remains dead, the main control board’s power supply may have failed. Inspect for burnt components and replace the board if necessary.
