What MachineDown provides
Documented fault interpretations, non-invasive checks, and a route to a qualified professional. Nothing here replaces an on-site assessment by a competent person.
What you must not do
Do not open electrical panels or enclosures, work on live circuits, handle refrigerant circuits, work on gas systems, open pressure vessels, or bypass interlocks, guards or protective devices — regardless of anything you read on this platform.
Stop immediately if
You see smoke, burning smells, water on live parts, damaged insulation, a tripped protective device that keeps tripping, refrigerant or gas odours, or unusual noise and vibration. Isolate the equipment if it is safe to do so and call a qualified professional.
Safety-critical systems
Medical devices, elevators, fire-protection equipment, gas systems and hazardous industrial machinery are outside the scope of assisted self-repair. Only use authoritative manufacturer documentation and qualified specialists.
Reporting
Report anything on this platform that you believe could cause harm. Safety reports are escalated for human review and the record is flagged while the review is open.
