Editorial Guidelines

At ApplianceWired, our goal is to provide clear, accurate, and safe information that helps people troubleshoot appliance error codes and common household issues. Modern appliances vary widely by brand and model, so reliable and well researched content is essential. These guidelines explain the standards we follow to maintain accuracy and trust.

Our Editorial Mission

ApplianceWired is built on three core principles:

  1. Accuracy based on reliable manufacturer and technician sources
  2. Clarity written in simple and practical language
  3. Safety prioritized in every troubleshooting step

Our mission is to help people fix their appliances with confidence and without confusion.

Accuracy and Sourcing Standards

Troubleshooting and error code information must be verified carefully. We rely on credible sources such as:

  • Manufacturer service manuals
  • Technical diagnostic charts
  • Appliance industry repair guides
  • Recommendations from certified technicians
  • Official support documentation
  • Verified user reports from reputable platforms

We avoid:

  • Guesswork or unverified solutions
  • Unsafe electrical or mechanical recommendations
  • Outdated or conflicting information
  • Sources that do not match the correct brand or model

When error code meanings vary by appliance type or model, we clearly explain the differences.

Research and Fact Checking

Before publication, each article is reviewed to ensure:

  • Accuracy of error code definitions
  • Proper alignment with manufacturer specifications
  • Safety and realism of troubleshooting steps
  • Clear identification of model specific variations
  • Up to date information about appliance technology
  • Simple and correct reset instructions

We do not publish content that promotes unsafe repairs or steps that should be handled only by licensed technicians.

Content Scope and Safety

ApplianceWired provides general guidance and troubleshooting information. We do not:

  • Replace certified repair professionals
  • Offer hands-on repair services
  • Guarantee repair success
  • Diagnose individual appliances remotely
  • Provide emergency repair advice

All troubleshooting steps focus on simple checks, safe resets, basic maintenance, and when to contact a professional.

We emphasize:

  • Unplugging appliances before inspection
  • Avoiding internal component repairs unless qualified
  • Recognizing electrical, gas, or mechanical hazards
  • Seeking professional help when needed

Safety always comes first.

  • Reset instructions are refreshed when needed

We prioritize updating content that relates to safety or major functional issues.

  • Publish content created by manufacturers or advertisers without review

If an article contains affiliate links to tools or replacement parts:

  • They are clearly disclosed
  • They are added only when relevant and helpful

Our editorial standards are never influenced by affiliate partnerships.
