      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!

Is there a substitute part or solution for "No Longer Manufactured" outer bake element (WB44X10018) on GE Monogram 30" range (ZDP30N4H2SS)?

The outer bake element (and many other parts) are no longer available from GE. The element is damaged beyond repair.

Are there any supply houses that may have old parts or other alternatives than throwing out an otherwise great appliance?

The trick is the outer element has to fit just right around the inner one (see photo). It is 20" wide at front, 19" deep to oven wall, ~12.5"-12.75" back width screw to screw, installed. At front "V" point it is about 16.5" to back wall.

I would go ebay sometime if you put the part number in you'll see what that has been changed to... on like partselect or repair clinic

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, no possible replacements come up when I try that. I did message one supplier to see if they had any ideas; so far no luck.

If you have any appliance parts stores in your area you can drop by and ask them to see catalogs of aftermarket bake elements... I took a quick glance, I don't see any that are perfect but I see a couple that would work.   photo attached

You also have to pay attention to what kind of connector you need at the end, and what the mounting plate looks like.   This is just a friendly suggestion, please do at your own risk.17254191048053388257306813138220.thumb.jpg.a5efa02d92a6cd4166fe153d4891f696.jpg
