No Power — Complete Diagnostic Flow

This flow guides you through systematically checking the power path, starting from the external source and moving inward to the machine's internal components to determine the root cause of a complete power failure.

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.

  • burning-smell-at-any-point: Unplug immediately. Do not probe further. Hand off to licensed electrician or technician.
  • water-intrusion-near-electrical: Do not apply power. Hand off to qualified technician for safety inspection.
  • If the issue persists after these steps, immediate escalation is required; a qualified technician must inspect the main power input and any components related to live-voltage circuits.
  • For any investigation involving the main power input or internal wiring, only a qualified technician should proceed.
