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 or visible scorching inside power box: Immediately unplug machine and halt diagnostic. Escalate to facility electrician or manufacturer support.
  • If the issue involves live-voltage components, a qualified technician must perform all testing and repairs.
  • If the issue involves the main power input, a qualified technician must verify the internal wiring harness routing.
  • If the issue points to the main control board, a qualified technician must diagnose the controller board or associated wiring harness.
