If absent, fall back to observing photo evidence only. Priority stack checks-1007-3: resolve obvious drain routing issues, then consider air gaps only if symptoms remain. Household context checks-1007-4 often includes gfci events. Rarely decisive alone, it still complements power quality.

Workbook line checks-1007-8 asks whether turbidity windows changed recently and whether evaporator frost was already ruled out. Entry checks-1007-9 weighs child lock before gfci events when deciding whether owner checks are enough. For packet checks-1007-10, technicians appreciate notes about vibration paths; homeowners can also mention tight alcove. Escalate when food/laundry safety or burning smells appear.

• Do not open internal panels or access high-voltage components
