      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!

Okay, I hate to ask this - because so many do - but I would very much like the service manual for a 561.

Any chance I can get the Subzero 590 manual, even Subzero doesn't have it online.

Thanks

some manufactures don't have repair manuals because of "liability concerns"

It would seem there's more of a chance injuring yourself (and others) with a faulty repair of your Fridge, then

... mmm  let's say, repairing your own car's brakes ... ?

Just giving something back

 

Not hijacking the post, but having solved a serious icemaker problem on my 590 SubZero I felt I should share...

 

I had replaced the ice maker with a compatible whirlpool unit, available on site, and unit worked OK for a couple of weeks, but still kept having highj freezer temps and puddles on the floor... neither are cool with the better half.  After living with this nonsence for over 2 years, I installed a a cheapo mechanical thermometer in the freezer section and noticed that my freezer never got below 30 degrees... F.  did some checking, freon level good, compressor humming just fine, ... what is left... thermo couple and defrost timer.  Bit the bullet and replaced both (thermocouple was a B$%$%$$tch) but I have a Rigid camera that lets me see around corners and it worked like a champ.  Defrost timer is a no brainer.  Thermostat remained the same.

 

All I can tell you is that my freezer coils never ice up and my icemaker works like new.  If you need part nos I will gladly share, but if yo9u are working on the 590, you know that they are in the electrical diagram sheet included.   BTW this was done after the tech had determined that the compressor that handles the freezer neeeds replacing...  Repairs done about 1.5 months ago... so I believe we are good.

 

Sense... gotta love your site... Thank you for your help. I am most grateful.
