Wont turn on
Hello tkeymer,
I’m an owner like you and will try to help. Have you had any recent electrical storm activity? Is the 120V AC source power supplying the machine on a surge protector?
Good troubleshooting steps in verifying 120VAC at the service outlet, was that done with a Digital Volt Meter? If so do you feel OK to troubleshoot 120VAC power? The service manual/schematic doesn’t document the EMI filter (see page 31 of the SM) very well. I believe 120VAC power will pass thru that before being distributed in the machine. I would check 120VAC thru the EMI filter. If it is good there then we would have to get into deeper troubleshooting and verify power to the control board. There are no internal fuses that I’m aware of in the machine. Power is applied to the machine thru the main system relay K6 per the FAV6800AW schematic The FAV6800AW schematic is located in the console of the machine. If you feel you are not qualified to troubleshoot 120VAC power in the machine I would call in a qualified repair service that is familiar with the FAV6800AW. This could be a dead Control Board issue but without a known good Control Board to swap out all we can do is verify power to the control board. Let me know how far you want to go in troubleshooting.
Service Manual and Sears Parts Direct for reference.

yes it is a FAV6800AW and it wont turn on or anything. Does not respond and acts dead. Checked fuses and outlet and they are ok.
Is your machine a FAV6800AW or FAV9800AW model? If so let me know and I will try to help. Rich
