The information in this training material is intended for use by persons possessing an adequate background in electrical equipment, electronic devices, and mechanical systems. In any attempt to repair a major appliance, personal injury and property damage can result. The manufacturer or seller maintains no liability for the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in conjunction with its use. When servicing any product, under no circumstances should the original design be modified or altered. Unauthorized modifications can void the warrantyand lead to property damage or user injury. If wires, screws, clips, straps, nuts, or washers used to complete a ground path are removed for service, they must be returned to their original positions and properly fastened.
To avoid personal injury, disconnect the power before servicing this product. If electrical power is required for diagnosis or test purposes, disconnect the power immediately after performing the necessary checks until the repair is completed. Be aware that many household appliances present a weight hazard. At least two people should be involved in the installation or servicing of such products. Failure to consider the weight of an appliance could result in physical injury.
Some of the electronic components in appliances are electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive. ESD can weaken or damage the electronics in these appliances in a manner that renders them inoperative or reduces the time until their next failure. Connect an ESD wrist strap to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance. Alternatively, you can touch your finger repeatedly to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance. Before removing a replacement part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance. Handle the electronic control assembly by its edges only. When repackaging a failed electronic control assembly in an anti-static bag, observe these same precautions.
Household appliances have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver; Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit than that to which the receiver is connected; or consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Do not attempt to adjust, test, or repair product if you do not have basic repair skills or if you do not fully understand the directions provided on this web site.
Always wear eye protection and protective clothing or gear, as appropriate.
Electric Shock can cause injury or death. Never assume the electricity has been turned off. Disconnect any appliance from its electrical source by unplugging the appliance or turning off the power at the breaker or fuse box. Mark the service panel with a note so that no one will restore power while you are working. After turning off the power to the circuit, test the circuit to be certain that there is no power. Some devices can store a hazardous electrical charge even when disconnected from an electrical source; always discharge these devices before attempting service.
Mixing electricity and water can be lethal! Wear rubber-soled shoes, avoid wet locations, and hold all tools by their insulated handles. Never touch conductive surfaces such as product cabinetds, pipes, or metal shelving.
Sharp edges can cause severe injury! Watch for sharp edges When reaching into a cabinet, case, or housing.
Always practice personal safety measures well as those suggested by the manufacturer of the devices and tools you use.Questions? Comments! Concerns? Report an error?
