Professional repair: what is checked?

A qualified technician confirms the warning using model diagnostics, tests the sealed circuit, repairs any verified leak and follows the specified evacuation and charging process. The code alone does not prove a leak.

How do you know it is resolved? Confirm normal operation or the technician test; the same fault should not recur.

Important: Safety and warranty: Never open energized wiring, sealed refrigerant systems or electronic boards. Unauthorized repairs may affect warranty coverage depending on the warranty terms and applicable law. A certified technician is required for hazardous work.
