There doesn't seem to be any power to it at all. I can't even hear the timer running. Moving the controls around and turning on and off has no effect. I've checked the outlet it's plugged into and there's power there. :confused: Is there a main fuse or something reasonably easy to access?

No continuity with the swich in either position between any of the terminals. Could this shut the whole thing down like that?
