Qualified technician handoff: stop before live electrical testing, sealed-system refrigeration work, compressor service, or protected-compartment access unless a qualified technician is handling the work.

  • Burning smell detected: Immediately unplug machine and escalate to advanced technician.
  • If the issue persists after initial checks, you must contact a qualified technician immediately, as this involves live-voltage diagnostics.
  • For any inspection involving the internal power distribution or wiring, only a qualified technician should proceed.
