- A
80%
- B
90%
- C
4%
- D

Which checks should be completed before closing the appliance cabinet? Select all that apply.
- A
Ensure tubing is supported and clear of sharp edges.
- B
Route wiring and connectors correctly.
- C
Restore protective covers and grounding connections, and remove tools or loose parts.
- D
Leave tools inside the cabinet if the appliance runs normally.
Describe a safe sequence for repairing a small appliance when the repair requires opening the sealed refrigerant circuit, and explain what to verify before returning it to service.
Under the stated Section 608 guidance, under what condition may an apprentice perform work that may compromise the refrigerant circuit?
- A
An apprentice may work independently if the appliance is unplugged.
- B
An apprentice may work under the close and continual supervision of a certified technician.
- C
An apprentice may work only if the appliance contains no refrigerant.
- D
An apprentice may supervise a certified technician.
During post-service testing, an appliance operates abnormally. What should the technician do before returning it to service?
- A
Leave it running until the noise stops on its own.
- B
Return it to service if the temperature is moving toward the target range.
- C
Shut it down safely and diagnose the cause before returning it to service.
- D
Increase the refrigerant charge without checking the model specifications.
Under EPA Section 608, what is the maximum refrigerant charge, in pounds, for an appliance to meet the charge-size part of the small-appliance definition?
Which EPA Section 608 certification type covers work on small appliances?
True or false: During servicing, a technician may intentionally vent refrigerant from a small appliance if doing so makes the repair faster.
- A
True
- B
False
A small appliance has a functional compressor, and the recovery equipment was manufactured after November 15, 1993. Which recovery benchmark applies?
- A
80%
- B
90%
- C
100%
A technician finds that the specified replacement component is unavailable. Which approach is consistent with the repair guidance?
- A
Install any component with the same physical dimensions, even if it is not approved for the appliance.
- B
Use a different refrigerant if it is readily available and has similar performance.
- C
Use a compatible component and follow the appliance manufacturer's procedure; do not substitute without explicit approval.
While replacing a component that opens the refrigerant circuit, how should a technician protect the exposed tubing during the repair?
- A
Protect open tubing from dirt and moisture, and keep the circuit clean and dry.
- B
Leave open tubing uncovered so moisture can evaporate freely.
- C
Wipe the inside of open tubing with any available cloth before reassembly.
After replacing a component, a technician needs to check a disturbed joint using a visual indication of escaping gas. The material identifies an approved as one suitable option.
During a post-repair operating check, temperatures should move toward the manufacturer's .
