Important information about our content and your responsibilities.

Last updated: December 2025

⚠️ Please Read Carefully

By using ApplianceCodeFix, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this disclaimer. If you do not agree, please do not use our website.

Educational Purpose Only

All content on ApplianceCodeFix — including repair guides, statistics, cost estimates, and success rates — is provided for educational and informational purposes only.

Our content:

  • Is NOT professional repair advice
  • Is NOT a substitute for consulting a licensed technician
  • May NOT apply to your specific appliance or situation
  • Should NOT be relied upon as the sole basis for repair decisions

No Professional Advice

ApplianceCodeFix does not provide professional appliance repair services. We are a data journalism platform that aggregates and analyzes repair experiences shared by appliance owners online.

Our team includes:

  • Data analysts who compile and verify statistics
  • Content editors who ensure accuracy and clarity
  • Technical advisors who review safety information

However, we do not employ licensed appliance repair technicians, and our content should not be interpreted as professional guidance.

Data Limitations

Our statistics are derived from self-reported experiences shared in online communities. This data has inherent limitations:

Selection Bias

People who post online about repairs may not represent all appliance owners. Those with extreme experiences (very positive or negative) may be more likely to share.

Self-Reported Data

We rely on users accurately describing their situations, repairs, and outcomes. We cannot independently verify every report.

Model Variations

The same error code may have different causes and solutions across model years and regional variations. Our statistics represent aggregated data that may not apply to your specific model.

Evolving Information

Appliances, parts, and repair techniques change over time. Information that was accurate when collected may become outdated.

For complete information about our data methodology and limitations, see our Methodology page.
