This can be caused by a number of things. The first thing to check will be the carbon brushes located on the left and right sides of the unit. Just simply unscrew the caps with a straight screwdriver. Once removed your can clearly see the shape of the carbon brushes. If they appear to have little or no wear and aren't broken, this won't be the cause of this problem. Also take note when you take them out AND put them back in as they willl only fit ONE way. The next thing to check will be the main control at the rear of the unit. After removing the power source, you can also remove the rear access panel. A phillips screwdriver is required. Next after removing the panel, you can now see the main board. Inspect it for any immediate signs of broken or burned wires also check the bi-metal on the control itself, as this will often indicate a faulty board. If however, everything looks good visibly and you still have no power to the unit, the last possible solution could be that the power cord itself has an internal problem. Hope this helps

Thanks
