      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!

Greetings;

I replaced the old Robertshaw Unitrol 7000 BER-1 24 volt gas valve with a White Rogers 36C03-333 and the relay terminals are different. The furnace wiring diagram is nowhere to be found. Can't seem to figure out how to connect the 2 black and 2 tan/white leads to the new valve.

Obviously, any help would be appreciated. I can post pics if needed.

Sorry for the delay. Preparing for visitors.

I'm referring to the 2 black leads coming from the thermostat and the 2 marked with arrows (may not be on the correct screws) from the 24v power supply. All 4 of these were connected to the old gas valve. The black were piggy-backed but I separated them. I've attached a diagram that I made minus the 4 leads in question.

I'm referring to the 2 black leads coming from the limit switch - sorry.

Thanks (I think) for the pdf but I can't install the executable on my Mac.

Dummy me, I clicked on the big download button which I guess was an ad.

I actually have that manual. Still befuddled.

Post a photo of your valve. I think you might have the wrong one. The terminals should have been the same.

can you draw a diagram on how the "old" Valve was connected ?

More photos.

This furnace was installed in '85 so it's old. The Robertson Unitrol gas valve only had 2 terminals so the connections were simple. One black and the white to one terminal and the other black and the tan to the other terminal.

Here's the schematic with the old gas valve connected.

use terminal TH and terminal TR

TH-TR is a spare terminal for other connections if needed

One of them terminals don't do a thang like reg says. You won't get a reading between the dummy terminal and the other 2. So your 24 volts is goin to go between the 2 terminals that you get a reading from. Just in case you come across this again. Since you mentioned you had 3 terminals I wanted to be sure you didn't have a millivolt valve instead of a 24 volt valves. These valve come in a variety of different power ranges from line voltage ac to low voltage ac to millivolt.

Excellent. You verified my suspicions. The middle terminal does nothing.

Thank you gentlemen.

And the cards win the wild card!
