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.

  • Visible scorching or heat damage near display connector on controller board: Do not apply power. Hand off to manufacturer service.
  • If visible scorching or heat damage is found near the display connector on the controller board, do not apply power and hand off to a qualified technician.
  • If the power supply output voltage is suspect, a qualified technician must verify the correct low-voltage DC output before proceeding.
