Failure Symptoms and Replacement-Part Evidence
How maintenance symptoms support diagnosis without becoming unsupported part identification.
Describe observable behavior
Record leakage, heat, noise, drift, pressure loss, alarms, vibration, or intermittent operation.
Capture operating context
Load, cycle, media, temperature, recent work, and contamination help interpret symptoms.
Separate cause from identity
A symptom may identify a subsystem but does not prove the exact failed component.
Confirm before replacement
Use inspection, test results, nameplate data, and the equipment documentation to select the part.
