Motor continuity Check the conduction between the
terminals of the motor.
If there is no continuity, replace the
motor.
ON/OFF Switch Check continuity across switch
connections
If there is no continuity, replace
P.C.B. AU.
Triac (Inside of P.C.B.) Check if the triac is in open circuit. If it is in open circuit, replace P.C.B.
AU.
P.C.B. AU Check the internal parts for any-
thing unusual. (burn-out, melt-
down, etc.)
If anything is found unusual,
replace the P.C.B. AU with new
one.
