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.

  • Live voltage measurement required: Stop immediately if uncertain. Route to senior technician.
  • Because this diagnostic involves live-voltage testing and high-risk components, you must immediately contact a qualified technician.
  • For any step involving live voltage measurement or high-risk components, only a qualified technician should proceed.
