What to do you’re your Porter Cable planer won't power up
Power supply problems, a bad power cord, a tripped motor overload, a bad on/off switch, a wiring failure or a failed motor can prevent your planer from running.
Check the electrical outlet for power. Reset the house circuit breaker for the outlet if the electrical outlet is dead.
If the electrical outlet has power, unplug the planer and check the power cord for damage. Repair or replace the power cord if it's frayed or cut.
If the power cord is okay, check the wiring connections on the power switch and motor (with the planer still unplugged). Reconnect any loose wires and repair any broken wires.
If the wiring connections are okay, then you may need to replace the on/off switch or the drive motor.
