Kitchen notes
Notes written after hours

Questions
Asked about the notes
- What are these notes for?
- They are the things worth writing down after a day of service calls: what the machine was actually doing, what was measured, and what fixed it. If one of them answers your question you have saved yourself a visit, and we would rather that than the call.
- Can I act on a note myself?
- On some of them, and each note says where that line falls. Clearing a burner port, drying a surface properly or resetting a breaker is yours. Anything behind a panel, on a gas connection, or inside a cavity that self-cleans is not, and the notes stop there rather than past it.
- Does a note replace a diagnosis?
- No. A note describes a pattern, and your appliance either matches it or it does not. Only a meter on the actual part settles which. What a note does do is tell you which question to ask when you call, and that makes the visit shorter.
