Hard stop conditions
Stop immediately when there is smoke, burning smell, active leak near power, repeated breaker trips, gas odor, sparking, or a locked door that will not release normally.
These are not content gaps. They are safety boundaries. The next step is a qualified technician or emergency utility response when gas or fire risk exists.
- Burning smell or visible smoke
- Water near outlets, controls, or wiring
- Breaker trips again after reset
- Gas smell or damaged gas connector
- Control board, motor, or wiring fault repeats immediately
Repeated codes after safe checks
If the same code returns after one safe correction and one controlled reset, assume the appliance is still detecting the fault. Repeating cycles can waste time and worsen damage.
Document the code, model number, and when it appears. That information is more useful than repeated resets.
