      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!

MFI2269VEM7 Cycles off and on

MFI2269VEM7 seems to cycle on and off, but  only sporadically. When this is happening the ice maker lights go off then come back on every few seconds, water dispenser flow stops and starts, interior fan noise stops and starts but interior lights stay on. It will happen for 10 minutes or so then everything goes back to normal.

Thoughts on possible causes or further troubleshooting the next time it happens?

Sounds like the main control board in the back of the unit, part #WPW10312695. It's a pretty common board point of failure and I've seen them dispense water, continually cycle the ice dispenser flapper door back and forth, and even empty the contents of the ice bucket all over the kitchen floor in addition to not running the unit. If you replace it, the new board needs to be programmed to your specific refrigerator and it should include those instructions. If not you can ask here. You can also try unplugging the unit for a few minutes to see if that resets it but it will usually just keep doing the same thing or at some point it will again.
