SOLUTION :
1) Check the circuit breaker in your electrical panel.  
2) Check the unit’s circuit fuse/breaker. 
3) Check the 24-volt circuit, as follows:
Try to establish electrical contact in a wall inlet with a metal object (for example, a coin).
--> If the unit starts up, the suction hose is defective.
--> If the unit doesn’t start up, check to see if the 24-volt wires are properly connected to the unit.

Try to establish an electrical contact between the two terminals of the 24-volt circuit on the unit with a 
metal object (for example, a screwdriver).

   --> If the unit starts up, a 24-volt wire is either cut or disconnected from one of the wall inlets.
  --> If the unit won’t start up after these steps, the printed circuit is defective.

SOLUTION :
Check the 24-volt circuit as follows:
Disconnect one of the two wires on the unit’s 24-volt circuit.
--> If the unit shuts down, the problem could be that two 24-volt wires are touching themselves somewhere 
or that the wall inlet is defective.
--> If the unit doesn’t shut down, the printed circuit is defective. Unplug the power cord.
