How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry when working with electrical outlets. Unplug the washer before opening any panels.

  • Step 1 – Check outlet and fuse:
    • Test the wall socket with another appliance.
    • Reset any tripped breakers or replace blown fuses as appropriate.
  • Step 2 – Inspect power cord:
    • Check the Arctic washer's power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks.
    • If damaged, have it replaced by a qualified electrician or service technician.
  • Step 3 – Internal checks (advanced):
    • Remove the rear or top panel to access the mains filter and control board.
    • Verify that the mains filter connections are secure.
    • Look for obvious damage (burn marks, swollen components) on the main PCB.
  • If there is still no power indication and no obvious external cause, the main control board or mains filter may be faulty; professional diagnosis and replacement are recommended.
