Question

A coffee machine that has metal parts for boiling water, etc., and its immersion will ruin the electrical system. How can it be used?

Answer

Hello 

There is an option to give it to a Jewish technician, who will dismantle a part and then repair it, thus the completion of the item will be done by a Jew, and it will be exempt from immersion.

It is important to know that this is only for a type of repair that requires a craftsman, but dismantling and reassembling a screw do not exempt from immersion.
