Avoid Service Checklist

You may save the cost and inconvenience of an unnecessary service call by first

reviewing this Checklist of commonly encountered problem situations.

 

 

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 service requires nothing more than a simple adjustment you

 

can easily make in your own home.
