Power Failure Diagnostic

This diagnostic flow helps determine if the unit is receiving adequate power from the building's electrical source or if the internal power supply is faulty.

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.

  • Line voltage found at power supply but no low DC voltage output: Stop and replace power supply or hand off to advanced repair
  • If line voltage is confirmed at the power supply but no low DC voltage output is present, stop immediately and contact a qualified technician for power supply replacement or advanced repair.
  • If the issue requires checking the main electrical supply or internal wiring, only a qualified technician should proceed.

Location Help

Where to find this

Use this as orientation before touching the machine. It is location help, not a repair instruction.

Power Input

Start outside the machine at the outlet and cord, then identify the power entry area before any protected-compartment inspection.

  • Supplies main AC voltage to the machine and distributes it to the power supply.
  • Power cord
  • Line filter
  • Main circuit breaker

Do not open energized or protected electrical areas unless a qualified technician or licensed electrician is handling the work.
