      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!

My 20 year old Maytag 2 cabinet dryer is leaking a small amount of blowby gas from the valve when the dryer is off. Not a huge amount, but enough for me to notice. Wife loves this machine and does not want to replace it, as apparently 2 cabinet machines are no longer made.  The replacement gas valve is a WP31001485 (the original valve number was 53-3874), but Whirlpool stopped making it, and I can't find one anywhere. In doing some crossreferencing, I am thinking that this is a White-Rodgers 25M01A-101 valve set up as a 25M01A-177. I ordered that valve, but wanted to run it by this forum in case anyone knows of a reason not to go with that setup.

I did not get the numbers you mention no one on the board will tell you to go for it because the part is Not available anymore too much liability if you  blow up  your house or self.

Better make sure you are right before you take the chances you are about to take. In my area in Los Angeles a guys house just blew up because a contractor did something wrong and something with the dryer was not right.  The homeowner is in the  hospital and the entire house blew up, damaged another house to boot. This is a year after the house was completed. (ADU)
