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.

  • scorch marks or melting found anywhere in power path: stop_immediately
  • Because this involves checking the main power path, which includes live-voltage components, you must call a qualified technician immediately.
  • If any scorch marks or melting are found anywhere in the power path, stop immediately and call a qualified technician.
