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 at any stage: Immediately disconnect power and do not proceed.
  • Fuse blows on replacement: Do not replace again. Escalate to qualified technician.
  • Live voltage measurement required: Confirm technician qualification before proceeding.
  • If any measurement of voltage or testing of the internal connections is required, immediately engage a qualified technician.

Location Help

Where to find this

Use this as orientation before touching the machine. It is location help, not a repair instruction.

Power Input

Start outside the machine at the outlet and cord, then identify the power entry area before any protected-compartment inspection.

  • Delivers and distributes main electrical power to all machine subsystems through the primary power path.
  • Power cord
  • Terminal block
  • Main fuse or breaker

Do not open energized or protected electrical areas unless a qualified technician or licensed electrician is handling the work.
