Possible Causes

Blown internal line fuse on control board, Failed main control board, Faulty power cord or noise filter, Loose power connector inside cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before opening any panels. Working on live circuits is dangerous.

  • Confirm outlet power: Plug another device into the Insignia washer's outlet to verify it has power.
  • Check power cord: Inspect the cord for cuts or burns. Replace if damaged.
  • Access control area: Remove the top or rear control panel cover and locate the main PCB and line filter.
  • Inspect internal fuse: Many Insignia boards have a small fuse. If visibly blown, the board may have been damaged by a surge. Replacing only the fuse without addressing root cause is not recommended.
  • Check connectors: Ensure the power cord leads and line filter output are firmly connected to the main board.
  • Replace main board or line filter: If there is no visible damage but the unit remains dead, the main control board or line filter assembly may need replacement. This is typically a technician-level repair.
