the power light turns on but absolutely nothing happens, no heat, no spin, when i press the button.

— asked by Morgan

Quick answer: A complete failure of both heat and spin points to a main power board issue inside the base or a broken internal connection, often from a drop or liquid spill.

Diagnosis

A complete failure of both heat and spin points to a main power board issue inside the base or a broken internal connection, often from a drop or liquid spill.

How to Fix It

Check the obvious first. Ensure the plug is fully seated in the outlet and the power cord is firmly plugged into the base of the unit. Try a different outlet. If still dead, internal repair is needed.

If That Didn't Work

There is no user-serviceable fix. The internal thermal fuse may have blown permanently, or the main control board is faulty.

Heads Up

These symptoms after a drop or a spill (even on the base, not the barrel) almost always mean internal damage. Discontinue use.
