1-2ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE(ESD) SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS
ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD
may damage or weaken the electronic control
assembly. The new control assembly may ap-
pear 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 as-
sembly by the edges only.
• When repackaging the failed electronic con-
trol assembly in an antistatic bag, observe
the above instructions.
