Found a blown fuse on the main control board. What took out the fuse: bad board or just a spike on the power line? I show how to check for that. The fuses on these LG boards are soldered in and not easily replaceable.

How can I Check my circuit board for damage?

Find the AC outlet and disconnect the cord from it. It will ensure there is no direct electricity supply in the PCB anymore. Start with the checking of the fuses of the circuit board. You can use nose pliers to pull out the fuse and check for its damage.

How do you check the continuity of a circuit board?

At first, set the multimeter promptly in the continuity function. Then, touch the probes of the multimeter with the metal ends of the fuse. If the fuse is in ideal condition and continuity, the meter will beep. Once you have checked the fuse, you may proceed to inspect any shorts in the PCB.
