GENERAL IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Your safety and the safety of others is very important. Important safety messages have been provided in this Job Aid. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word "WARNING." All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed. WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all panels before operating. Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock. ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD may damage or weaken the electronic control assembly. The new control assembly may appear to work well after repair is finished, but failure may occur at a later date due to ESD stress. • Use an antistatic wrist strap. Connect the wrist strap to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance; or touch your finger repeatedly to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance. • Before removing the part from its package, touch the antistatic bag to a green ground connection point or unpainted metal in the appliance. • Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal contacts. Handle the electronic control assembly by the edges only. • When repackaging the failed electronic control assembly in an antistatic bag, observe the above instructions. 1-1
