      Returning guest presenter Aaron Wilson is back for another exciting discussion. This time, we'll be talking about...
      The Science of CYA: How to Keep the Customer Safe, Document Your Work, and Not Get Sued
      We take on a lot of liability as appliance repair techs, and that can get us into sticky situations whether we've done anything wrong or not. Aaron will be teaching us all about how to navigate this side of the trade.
      We'll start by going over a tragic, real-world case study where a sloppy installation had lethal results, analyzing exactly how the installer's negligence caused this. From there, our scope will expand to what kind of safety precautions we should implement in our own work, both for the customer's sake and for our own.
      But even if you do everything perfectly, there's still the famous "technician witch hunt." Well, we'll also talk about how to deal with that by thoroughly documenting your work and putting yourself beyond legal reproach.
      A little about our guest, Aaron Wilson:
      Aaron has been in the appliance repair trade for about 15 years, starting out by doing installations before moving on to bigger and better things. He worked for C&W Services as a Sub-Zero authorized servicer for a time and thereafter joined Mr. Appliance of Highland Park in the Dallas area, where he worked for years as the lead technician and field service manager. These days, he's making sure that all the appliances of everyone's favorite fried chicken place are in tip-top shape as the Quality and Performance Consultant for the southwest branch of Chick-fil-A. In addition, he has taught many classes on refrigeration repair and advanced diagnostics, during which time he also developed training material for the soft skills side of things, which he is delighted to share with you. On top of all that he's a certified graduate of the Master Samurai Tech Academy, so he knows his stuff!

Samsung Washer not agitating or spinning: Model #: WF45N5300AV/US

Appliance Brand: Samsung
Appliance Type: Washer, Front Load, 2016 year
Model #: WF45N5300AV/US
Serial #: 08KF5NAK604409

Washer will not agitate or spin. It will drain and fill with water to start the cycle but then stops with the digital output showing dashes going in a circle pattern. I have replaced the stator with the hall sensor. A sound of a low "tink" every one second that is coming from the stator during the time it is in wash mode. This happened with the original and new stator. It lasts for about 30 seconds.

The main control board showed, seemingly correct voltage to the hall sensor when washer was in wash/agitation phase:
At Inverter Board--
Ground (Orange wire) to Hall Sensor Signal A (Red wire) is 30VDC.
Ground (Orange wire) to Hall Sensor Signal B (Blue wire) is 3 VDC.

I tested the voltage for the motor from the board and it showed 240 VDC.

There are no cracks or damage showing on the rotor magnets and the basket turns freely without grinding noise. I am thinking problem remains in the main control board that includes the inverter board. Is 240 VDC too high? Is a remaining issue possibly the user interface panel/board? Thoughts? Thank you.

I feel like this could have been the door lock sensor from the beginning.
