Before booking a repair

1. Confirm the displayed error code and your appliance model number.
2. Check relevant external issues such as a blocked filter, kinked hose, open door, interrupted power, or restricted airflow.
3. If a power reset is appropriate for the appliance, turn it off safely and restart it once.
4. If the code returns, avoid repeated resets and arrange diagnosis.

Do not open sealed, gas, high-voltage, or refrigerant systems unless qualified to service them.
