THE DETAILS MATTER

Scope & troubleshooting notes

Code context

A short circuit and an open circuit are different electrical conditions. Preserve the exact number when reporting the fault; neither one is a diagnosis you can confirm by inspecting the drum.

YOUR NEXT DECISION

When to stop and get help

Record what you see

Keep the full model number, exact displayed code, and your observations together for the next conversation.
