How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Always turn off the breaker before inspecting wiring. Do not bypass safety grounds.
- Check power source: Verify the breaker is not tripped and the outlet has 120 VAC using a meter or by plugging in another appliance.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace the cord if damaged.
- Test outlet polarity: Use an outlet tester to ensure proper wiring; incorrect polarity can cause control issues.
- Inspect internal power connections:
- Remove the top or rear panel.
- Check the line filter and main control board power connectors for loose or burnt terminals.
- Replace failed components: If power is present at the control but it does not power up, replace the main control board. If power does not reach the control, replace the line filter or wiring as needed.
