Hi everyone. I need to solve a question.

Yes a licensed electrician must install the machine that has no plug and requires hard wiring. Almost every state, city, local municipality requires this. What I can't seem to answer is who is allowed to service the machine when it stops working? An electrician? Where does it state an electrician must service the machine? If a vending machine is hard wired to a box and the potato chips get stuck, where does it say it does not require an electrician to service the electrical apparatus? In this example substitute the vending machine with anything electrical outside of the residential space. Thanks for any help or direction someone might share.

Our job as electricians is to get the power to a load. The code does not address appliances and even if your not an electrician you can work it.
