      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!

Kenmore front-load washer 970-C41062-00 - Service manual?

Kenmore front-load washer

Model 970-C41062-00

Serial XC13210203

Manufactured 8/01

 

 

This machine is in my new apartment, underneath its matching dryer. Would like to find service manual if it's to be had. First thing I had to do was tackle the mildew stench! An individual (who may have been me, but probably not) added a cleaning agent not generally associated with washing machine cleanout (but still arguably appropriate given that eventually a drain was involved) together with a pot of boiling water, and ran the machine through a heavy-wash/hot cycle. Lots of suds and lots of chips and chunks of black mould stirred up! Then two rinses, then another heavy-wash/hot cycle with a couple dishwasher detergent tablets and another two rinses, and I do believe the mildew's been whipped for now.

 

Second task: figure out why the drain pump is so loud. Sounds like it's loose on its mounts and vibrating against something. Would like to have that service manual before I tackle it. Would also like to know if I need to be keeping an eye out for a filter while I'm in there.

 

Thanks in advance, all!
