My roaster won't turn on
If your roaster isn’t responding when trying to turn it on, follow the steps below to troubleshoot:
Check your power supply: Is the power cord properly connected, or has a fuse blown?
Check the fuse at the back of the roaster. Use this guide for reference. Check that they are intact and have not blown. However, they might have blown, but it is not visible, so try to switch the fuse with the spare one and see if the roaster works now.
If nothing changes, the next step is to remove the left-hand side panel.
Turn the roaster on, but make sure not to touch any cables. Check that the power pack has a green light:
If there is a steady green light: The power pack works and receives power.
If the green light is flashing: The power pack works but is having issues delivering a signal to the PCB.
If there is no green light: The power pack could be broken or is not receiving power. Double-check that the machine’s power supply works before replacing the power pack.
If the green light is constant or flashing, continue with the steps.
Check the fuse on the PCB (the green circuit board on top of the roaster). The best way to see if the coil inside is broken is to flash a flashlight from the other side. If the coil is broken, change the fuse.
Step 4: Check if the power pack has a green light.
Step 6: This is the fuse on the PCB. Check if the coil on the inside is broken (in this photo the coil is intact).
7. If the fuse on the PCB is intact, there is something wrong with the connection between the power pack and PCB. It might be the PCB itself or a component connected to the PCB that causes problems.
To test this, remove all the connections from the PCB except the power cable and screen cable, and turn the roaster on:
If the LED light on the power pack is still flashing green, it is probably the PCB. You can check this by removing the power cable and turning the roaster on. If the light is now a constant green, the PCB itself is causing the issues and needs to be replaced.
If the LED light on the power pack is a constant green, one of the components attached to the PCB is causing the issue. Reattach one component at a time, turning the roaster on in between to check the LED light on the power pack. If the LED light starts flashing after reattaching a component, this is the component causing the issue. Replace the component. On rare occasions, it can be a chip on the PCB causing the issue, not the component itself.
