Avoid Service Checklist
Before you call for service - read this
You may save the cost and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call by first reviewing this easy to use Avoid-Service Check List
of the most frequently encountered situations that are not the result of defective workmanship of materials.
You will be charged for a service call while the appliance is in warranty if the problem is not caused by defective product
workmanship or materials.
Your new appliance is a carefully engineered product. Many times, what appears to be a reason to call for service requires nothing
more than a simple adjustment you can easily make in your own home or is normal operating characteristic of appliance under
certain conditions.
This list is applicable to a variety of models; some of the items will not necessarily apply to your appliance.
