V-Guard Fridge Stabilizer Deluxe 50 - Dead - No Input & output LED lights up. No output voltage.
Condition: Dead. No input or output LED light up.
Used a pre-programmed IC CTM1273 to control the circuit board PWB.
On checking, the thermal fuse found damaged.
Replaced the thermal fuse (inserted inside the primary side of the transformer). Power light came alive, but there was no output LED light up; or any output voltage; even after 5 minute duration.

Checked the components on circuit board. The relay used (on board) HJR-3FF-S-2 was found non operative. Its winding was open. Replaced the same; and checked OK.
When checking this stabilizer, check the AC fuse [the thermal fuse in the transformer] first. This fuse can be replaced. Pull that fuse out (after de-solder its two connections). Insert a new one in place and solder the terminals as it was. I’ve marked both the damaged component that I’ve replaced. Note the photographs attached.
If the pre-programmed IC said above is found damaged, contact the authorized service center for V-Guard. There is no way to get it from open electronic spare part market.
