Documented field work
Installation details and completed work
The need
The electrical issue was a broken light switch in the bathroom. When PTX was leaving, the tenant also asked about a dishwasher that had stopped working and whose controls were locked.
PTX's approach
PTX completed the recorded switch repair by disconnecting and removing the broken switch, then installing one new switch. The dishwasher was considered separately: a breaker reset was attempted, but the controls remained locked. The tenant was told to contact the property manager and have an appliance technician attend.
The recorded result
The bathroom switch repair was completed with one new 15A Decora switch installed. The dishwasher issue was not treated as electrical work, and no appliance repair is recorded.
What this job helps another property owner consider
When an electrical repair and an appliance problem appear at the same visit, it helps to separate the two issues. This job shows the value of completing the documented switch repair while directing the dishwasher concern to an appliance technician rather than extending the electrical scope without supporting evidence.
Frequently asked questions
Questions property decision-makers ask
Did this electrical service call repair the dishwasher?
No. The job notes identify the dishwasher concern as non-electrical. A breaker reset was attempted, but the controls remained locked, so the tenant was advised to arrange an appliance technician through the property manager.
