DIAGNOSTIC GUIDE ■ Before removing the part from its package, touch the anti-static bag to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance. Before servicing, check the following: ■ Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts; handle machine control ■ Is the power cord firmly plugged into a live electronics by edges only. circuit with proper voltage? ■ When repackaging failed machine control electronics in anti-static bag, ■ Has a household fuse blown or circuit observe above instructions. breaker tripped?
