If the DieHard charger model 28.71331 does not start or run, follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Check the AC outlet – Ensure the outlet is not dead. Look for an open fuse or a tripped circuit breaker supplying the AC outlet.
2. Inspect electrical connections – Verify that the power cord and any extension cord are securely plugged in without loose connections.
3. Check the battery condition – A defective battery may prevent the charger from operating. Have the battery tested and replace it if necessary.
