Machine Completely Unresponsive - Full Diagnostic
This diagnostic flow guides you through checking the entire power path, from the building outlet right up to the main control board, when the machine shows no signs of life.
Qualified technician handoff: stop before live electrical testing, sealed-system refrigeration work, compressor service, or protected-compartment access unless a qualified technician is handling the work.
- Repeated fuse failures after replacement: Escalate to senior technician. Do not keep replacing fuses.
- Burning smell at any point: Disconnect power immediately. Do not resume until cause is identified.
- Visible arcing or sparking: Disconnect power immediately. Clear area. Escalate to qualified technician.
- If visible arcing or sparking occurs during any power check, immediately disconnect power and contact a qualified technician.

Digital MultimeterFlashlight or Work LightOutlet TesterStop conditions- If visible arcing or sparking occurs during any power check, immediately disconnect power and contact a qualified technician.
- If the main fuse is blown, investigating the root cause requires advanced electrical knowledge; escalate to a qualified technician.
- Verifying internal power distribution or checking the controller board requires working near live-voltage components; this must be handled by a qualified technician.
- If the main harness is suspect, inspecting for damage requires specialized electrical tools and expertise; contact a qualified technician.
- If the diagnosis requires live-voltage testing or component-level evaluation, a qualified technician must take over the service.
Expected: Initial condition is documented before deeper diagnosis.
