•The charger was correctly plugged in for recharge. (It feels slightly warm to the touch.)

•The charger cord is not damaged and is correctly attached to the appliance.

•The charger is plugged into a working electrical outlet.

•The appliance was switched to the off position to charge. The battery will not be charged with the switch in the “on” position.
