SAFETY FIRST
What to do
before service.
Disconnect the unit and keep hands away from the ram mechanism when it is jammed or cycling incorrectly. Never bypass drawer or safety interlocks.
When you request service, include the brand, model number when available, exact symptom and any displayed error code. This information helps prepare the visit, but the final recommendation requires diagnosis.
Parts availability, appliance condition, installation access and the nature of the failure can affect repair options and whether a return visit is required.
