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.

  • Timing motor electrically failed: Flag for motor replacement with correct part number verification.
  • Auger mechanical damage found: Flag for auger assembly replacement evaluation.
  • If the timing motor appears electrically failed or the auger shows mechanical damage, a qualified technician must replace the necessary components.
  • Any work involving the motor's electrical connections must be performed by a qualified technician due to potential low-voltage hazards.
