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.

  • Fuse blows a second time after correct replacement: Stop all work. Do not install a third fuse. Escalate to manufacturer service immediately.
  • Burning smell detected at any point: Unplug machine immediately. Tag machine out of service. Do not re-energize.
  • Visible board damage confirmed: Do not attempt board repair. Escalate to manufacturer service.
  • If you suspect an issue with the main power input, a qualified technician must inspect the wiring and fuse/breaker connections.
