Read on to know the steps of failure diagnosis and testing for power failure in an appliance, since power is usually the main area of concern in failures.

Check that the cord is not frayed or damaged. Check the area where the body is connected to the plug and wiggle it lightly and firmly. Make sure that the cord is firmly attached to the unit you want to test and there is no chance of it coming loose.

The plug and plug prongs are the next thing to look at to determine the possibility of no power occurring. Make sure that it is free from rust and the prongs are still firmly attached to the plug head. Also test it carefully to find any sort of loose connection.

A good next step to check if there is a power issue is to plug it in. If it still does not turn on then it might be a good idea to check the wall socket itself with a voltmeter. Also check if there is power by checking the main fuse box and fuses that feed that specific wall socket.

Find the main fuse box and make sure all the fuses are still intact. If the fuses are still good and no safety switches have been tripped, then the problem could be the socket itself. You may therefore have to ask an electrician to the socket and replace it. Never try to replace a socket yourself if you do not have the skills.

After having checked the wall socket, the power mains and fuse boxes and you find that they are still okay, then perhaps the problem is with the appliance itself. Start to look for the warranty cards if you had bought it new and start scoping the nearest service centers.

This article basically covers some diagnostic steps to find the issues with power not coming into play when using an electrical appliance.
