Possible Causes
Blown plug fuse, damaged mains power cord, failed on/off rocker switch, open-circuit internal thermal fuse.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Always unplug before opening any covers. Do not attempt live testing unless you are qualified.
- Check plug fuse: Remove the plug fuse and test or replace it with the correct rating (typically 13A). If it blows again immediately, there is an internal short.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, flattened sections, or exposed wires. Flex the cord gently; if the unit powers intermittently, replace the power cord set.
- Test power switch: Access the on/off rocker switch and test continuity when switched on. Replace if faulty.
- Check internal thermal fuse: Locate the thermal fuse near the motor or PCB. If open-circuit, replace with an identically rated fuse; investigate overheating causes (blocked vents, overuse).
