If yes to Power Pro, is it a Gen 1 or Gen 2 version? The Gen 2 has both a fuse and a thermal disconnect, either of which could give you this symptom. (Though neither of which should in this case, I think.) Mine is Gen 1. I often leave the power switch on and the machine not running for weeks at a time.
