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 or scorch marks found at any point: Stop immediately. Do not apply power. Escalate to licensed technician.
  • Line-voltage present but no low-voltage output: Escalate to manufacturer support for power supply or controller diagnostic
  • If any burning smell or scorch marks are found, stop immediately and contact a qualified technician. If line-voltage is present but low-voltage output is not achieved, escalate to manufacturer support for controller diagnostics.
