IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE — “For Technicians only”
This service data sheet is intended for use by persons having electrical, electronic, and mechanical experience and
knowledge at a level generally considered acceptable in the appliance repair trade. Any attempt to repair a major
appliance may result in personal injury and property damage. The manufacturer or seller cannot be responsible, nor
assume any liability for injury or damage of any kind arising from the use of this data sheet.
IMPORTANT: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Sensitive Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. Most people begin to feel an ESD discharge at approximately 3000 V. It takes as
little as 10 V to destroy, damage, or weaken the main control assembly. The new main control assembly may appear to
work well after repair is finished, but a malfunction may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.
