Machine Power-Up Diagnostic
This procedure verifies the entire electrical power chain, from the building's source connection through the internal control board, to ensure the machine receives the necessary power to operate correctly.
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 near AC box: Stop immediately. Disconnect power. Escalate to licensed electrician or advanced technician.
- If any issue is found during the power-up diagnostic, immediately stop work and contact a qualified technician, as this involves live-voltage components and internal power distribution.
