My unit lost power mid trip and I haven't been able to get it to work since.

I would try a computer website this one is for washing machines eric

I have had several different makes of clock radios and all said that it was battery back up for power failure
none worked and all settings had to be redone
power surges do not trip breakers as they are in effect a fuse to prevent damage to the wiring in a dead short situation or when a unit fails
even surge protectors will still pass power after a surge but will no longer protect against another surge

Power lost on two units in one car is a little unique. Does it lose power in the middle of a trip or when you first get into car? I would recommend bench testing to direct 12v unit to see if car is causing voltage loss.

Normally all the power units come with a protection and it is necessary to remove the mains power before you can investigate into the board. If the fuse had blown or there is a safety trip then check for some serious short within the power, the motor or inlet valve/drain pump circuit.

First make sure it's still plugged in and that you haven't tripped a breaker. Temporarily move the machine to another area of the house. If you still have no power... take a good look and sniff at your foot pedal (smell burnt?) It may need replacing.

Other than that, I would recommend taking it in. Sergers are tricky and I would not recommend trying to service yourself.

If there is still power to the unit it is most likely the lock motor that is bad...if you have no power than you may have the thermo fuse on the back of oven tripped or blown...

I have the same fridge and found solution online. unplug it and plug it back in. worked for me and the service call was cheap.

Do you have power to the unit? Possibly the breaker tripped, if not. Check your breaker panel and locate the switch for the dryer. switch it off, then back on again... try your dryer.
Good luck!

get an inexpensive clamp amp meter (Harbor Freight has them). Turn off power to the plug. Remove plug from wall but do not disconnet wires. turn fridge OFF. plug the unit in the recept. turn on the power. set the meter for the higest reading (amps) & clamp it around the black wire. turn the fridge ON & observe start up current & the "run" current. If the fridge is within limits on the data plate the problem is in the wiring circuit, maybe a loose connection either @ the plug or the breaker. if there are several plugs in the circuit, the problem could be in one of them. In addition, if there is a gfi plug in this circuit, it could be faulty also.

Hello chicagogunn,
Welcome,

You said,Your unit stopped working mid-cycle. You have verified that there is power to unit. Is there an internal fuse which could have been tripped? None of the lights on the control panel currently light.

There is a thermal fuse!
Go to this repair web site I listed below and you will see the diagram
1. Diagram Page 02 - CONTROL PANEL PARTS
2. The thermal fuse is, Item # 6 on the diagram.

ALSO:
Here are four things that the repair manual says to check.
1.Burnt or broken wires
Check for burnt or broken wires. This would include the wires on the timer and door switch. Also check the wiring connection where the main power connects to the machine.

2. Defective Timer
The timer is a series of switches that controls all machine functions. If one of the contacts in the timer is defective, the machine will lose that function. knowledge of the the use of a volt /ohmmeter is essential to testing the timer as well as the ability to read the timer sequence chart that is supplied with the machine. In most cases this requires a professional technician

3.Door switch
The door switch is wired in series with all components on the machine. If the door switch is defective, the machine will do nothing. Check the door switch for continuity

4.No Electrical power
Ensure that the proper voltage is being supplied to the appliance. Check the breakers or fuses that are supplying the power to the appliance electrical outlet. You can use a voltmeter to test for voltage at the electrical outlet.

Thank you Huuum
