Common Kenmore office equipment failures

• No power. Lack of power can be caused by a tripped overload switch in the equipment. Check for an overload switch and reset the switch if it's tripped. If you're unsure whether your equipment has an overload switch, check the owner's manual for information about switches in the equipment. A failed transformer, bad control board or faulty power cord can also prevent office equipment from powering up.
• Paper jam. Don't overload paper bins and refill paper bins when they're nearly empty to help prevent paper jams. Monitor the machine as it's running and clear any paper jams quickly to avoid equipment damage. Have a service technician remove jammed paper if you're unable to clear the paper jam yourself.
• Stuck button. A stuck button on the control panel can prevent the equipment from operating. Try to free up a stuck button by pressing firmly around the edges of the button. If you're unable to free up a stuck button, you'll likely need to replace the user interface or control panel. Have a service technician replace the control panel or user interface if you're unable to complete the repair yourself.

Kenmore office equipment safety tips

• Check the condition of power cords connected to your office equipment often. Replace any worn or damaged power cords to prevent electrocution and shock hazards.
• Use proper lifting techniques and wear a back support belt when moving or installing office equipment. Use proper tools and helpers to move extremely heavy equipment.
• Limit screen time to prevent eye damage. Use proper screen settings to minimize eye strain.
• Some office equipment contains high-voltage capacitors that can retain a lethal electrical charge even when the equipment is unplugged from the power supply. Don't attempt to repair office equipment yourself unless you're completely confident that you can safely perform the repair. Have a service technician make repair on any office equipment that contain capacitors that may retain an electrical charge after the equipment is powered off.
• Read and follow all safety warnings and operation procedures in the owner's manual for your office equipment.
