IMPORTANT: Electrosta�c Discharge (ESD) Sensi�ve Electronics
ESD problems are present everywhere. Most people begin to feel an ESD discharge at approximately 3000 V. It takes
as li�le as 10 V to destroy, damage, or weaken the main control assembly. The new main control assembly may
appear to work well a�er repair is finished, but a malfunc�on may occur at a later date due to ESD stress.
Use an an�-sta�c wrist strap. Connect wrist strap to green earth connec�on point or unpainted metal in the

appliance.
Touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connec�on point or unpainted metal in the appliance.
Before removing the part from its package, touch the an�-sta�c bag to a green ground connec�on point or

unpainted metal in the appliance.


When repackaging main control assembly in an�-sta�c bag, observe above instruc�ons.
