• After finishing repairing, turn on the power and carefully observe your appliance, but don't touch your appliance immediately.

• If any adjustments are required then turn off the power and start repairing properly.

• In case of broken and malfunctioning parts, replace with the new parts which are made especially for the appliance. For this you have to get parts from the specific brand that made your appliance. Also for most of the appliances, the name and address of the appliance manufacturer are usually printed on the appliance.

• If you did not get the exact replacement, go for appliance service centers, appliance-repair dealers, and appliance-parts stores.

• In most cases, the breakdown of an appliance is due to the lack of proper power voltage that is enabled in your electrical systems. So, before you start diagnosing or testing the process, check your main panel and the separate panel for proper circuit and fuse connections. Be sure not to have blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers at the main panel.
