Mention whether the problem began after a normal cycle, a power interruption, a cleaning attempt, or a change in use. Share any visible clue you can check safely, such as water location, frost pattern, display message, trapped items, weak airflow, or a door that will not close. Avoid repeated resets when the same warning returns, since the pattern itself can be useful during diagnosis. Those details help the call focus on timing, service category, and the safest next step.
Keep the appliance area accessible where practical, but avoid disassembly. If there is water, heat, gas odor, sparking, or a burning smell, stop use and mention that immediately.
