Machine Completely Dead — Power Input Diagnostics

This procedure guides you through checking the power supply from the wall outlet all the way to the machine's internal connections to determine if the unit is receiving power.

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 failure: Do not install third fuse. Escalate for short-circuit investigation.
Signs of arcing or burning: Unplug immediately. Do not re-energize until repaired and inspected.
If arcing or burning smells are present, immediately unplug the unit and contact a qualified technician for inspection.
If voltage testing is required at the terminal block, only a qualified technician should perform this check.
