22. Diagnostic Disclaimer Appliance diagnostics involve
evaluating mechanical, electrical, and electronic components based on
observable symptoms and information available at the time of service.
The Customer acknowledges that
modern appliances may contain multiple components—such as control boards,
sensors, switches, motors, heaters, and timers—that can produce similar
symptoms or intermittent failures, making precise diagnosis difficult in some
cases.
Diagnostic services are performed
using reasonable professional judgment based on the information available at
the time of inspection. Diagnostic fees compensate the Company for the
technician’s time, expertise, and evaluation and are non-refundable, even if
subsequent repairs reveal additional or different issues.

issues have been identified.

twenty-four (24) hours’ notice, failure to provide access to the service

a reasonable estimate of costs incurred by the Company, including scheduling,
technician time, travel coordination, and lost service availability.Deposit for repairs to order parts is not refundable. Service call and diagnostic fees
are non-refundable unless otherwise authorized in writing by Company
management. Where applicable, any approved
refunds are processed within thirty (30) to forty-five (45) days.

Sealed system diagnostics and
repairs involve complex refrigeration components and carry inherent
uncertainty.
The Customer acknowledges that
diagnosing sealed system issues—including refrigerant leaks, system
restrictions, or compressor failure—can be difficult, as these conditions often
present similar symptoms and may not be fully identifiable without invasive
testing.
Sealed system diagnostic fees are
non-refundable.
Sealed system repairs are
inherently high-risk and may not be successful, even when performed correctly.
The Company makes no guarantee that a sealed system repair will restore the
appliance to full or long-term operation.
Before performing any sealed system
repair, the Customer acknowledges and accepts the risk that the appliance may
function properly after repair or may fail again despite repair efforts.
Where sealed system repairs are
performed, the Company may provide a limited warranty on parts and labor for thirty
(30) days, unless otherwise stated in writing. No refunds are provided for
sealed system repairs.
Older appliances and systems with
prior repairs, leaks, or wear may have a higher likelihood of failure following
sealed system repairs.
The Company complies with all
applicable laws and regulations regarding refrigerant handling. Refrigerant
will not be added to a system known to have a leak. Leak detection methods may
include electronic detection, dye testing, or other industry-accepted
techniques, depending on the circumstances.
Sealed system repair costs vary
depending on appliance type, condition, and required components.

applicable law, the Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
