1. Have you tried it in another socket? Check the light bulb to ensure it isn't rubbing against something (smell).
2. After you try the machine in a new socket make sure the on/off switch is set to on. Is the bulb lit? Replace it if not. Also, check the outlet with something else electrical to make sure it is working.
3. Make sure the cord is attached securely to the machine.
4. If these checks hasn't worked your next move is to go to your repair shop.
This may or may not help.. first UNPLUG it..then unscrew the light bulb and look at the base of the bulb socket.. you should see a tang there ( small tab) that makes contact with the bulb.. sometimes that gets compressed to a point that it won't make electrical contact with the bulb or intermittent contact and the bulb flickers.. You may also have a loose wire on the socket terminals too.. Depending on your electrical skil level, you may or may not want to look into repairing that yourself.. Hope this helps..
