Before attempting to inspect or clean malfunctioning high-voltage equipment or refrigeration units, adhere to these mandatory safety checks to prevent electrical shock, water damage, or gas leaks.
Always trip the dedicated breaker or disconnect high-voltage 240V lines before inspecting terminal blocks.
Shut off the manual 1/4-turn brass ball valve behind ranges or dryers if you detect any odor of gas.
Never touch circuit boards or control consoles on leaking washers while standing on wet floors.
