Possible Causes

Blown mains fuse, Faulty power cord, Defective mains filter (EMI filter), Failed main control board power supply section

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the socket is switched off before unplugging. Do not open live circuits.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Verify supply: Test the wall socket with another appliance. Check the household breaker and any fused spur feeding the washer.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace the cord if damaged.
  • Check mains filter: Remove the top or rear panel to access the EMI filter where the cord enters. Look for burns or swelling. Replace if faulty.
  • PCB power section: If the filter and cord are good but the machine is still dead, the low-voltage power supply on the main PCB may have failed. Board replacement is usually required.
