      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!

Whirlpool Washer (CAE2745FQ0 ) Lid Lock Won't Engage

CAE2745FQ0 Whirlpool Washer - https://www.partselect.com/Models/CAE2745FQ0/

Replaced an unresponsive control board with a refurb unit and ran through a calibration and then diagnostic mode. Everything seems fine except the lid lock wont engage. Got a replacement lid lock and installed it, ran machine through calibration again and still cant seem to get it to lock. I can run through any diagnostics you guys suggest but I'm totally stumped. The next things I was going to do was change the small wiring hardness that goes from the new board to the new lid lock but short of that I have no idea whats going on. Any suggestions you have would be great.

Thanks

did you run the diagnostic to test the lid lock? do that and report... check your lid see if its bent did you. replace the strike?

So I got it into diagnostic mode and ran what the manual listed as Lid lock test the cold water began to run. When i ran the next command which was run cold water the hot began to run. Its like every entry was one off from what I anticipated. Most of the functions wouldn't run at all because they depended on the lid locking so it would just flash at me.

I did not replace the lid strike (pictures attached) but can do that if you think its a good idea. It doesn't have an tension on it or anything. It can sort of play back and forth as needed. Not sure what its supposed to feel like.

pretty sure it is supposed to be spring loaded its not supposed to flap around like nothing that's the issue.

I got one on order. I will report back in 2-3 days when I install

that would be nice so it flops around you should be good to go after.. can't hurt unplug it for a 5-10 min.
