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.

  • Motor stall detected
  • Timeout waiting for port door switch closure
  • For any electrical diagnosis involving the motor or controller, a qualified technician must be engaged.
  • If the issue requires assessing the motor's electrical output, a qualified technician must perform the voltage measurement.
