Safe Servicing Practices - Electrolux Side by Side Refrigerator Service Manual

SAFE SERVICING PRACTICES

To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, it is important that Safe
Servicing Practices be observed. The following are some limited examples of
safe practices:
1. DO NOT attempt a product repair if you doubt your ability to complete it in a
safe and satisfactory manner.
2. Before servicing or moving an appliance:
• Remove power cord from the electrical outlet, trip circuit breaker to the OFF
position, or remove fuse
• Turn off gas supply
• Turn off water supply
3. Never interfere with the proper operation of any safety device.
4. Use The Correct Replacement Parts Cataloged For This Appliance.
Substitutions May Defeat Compliance With Safety Standards Set For
Home Appliances.
5. GROUNDING: The standard color code for safety ground wires is GREEN,
or GREEN with YELLOW STRIPES. DO NOT use ground leads as current
carrying conductors. It is EXTREMELY important that the service technician
reestablish all safety grounds prior to completion of service. Failure to do so
will create a hazard.
6. Prior to returning the product to service, ensure that:
• All electrical connections are correct and secure
• All electrical leads are properly dressed and secured away from sharp
edges, high-temperature components, and moving parts
• All non-insulated electrical terminals, connectors, heaters, etc. are
adequately spaced away from all metal parts and panels
• All safety grounds (both internal and external) are correctly and securely
connected
• All panels are properly and securely reassembled
