      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!

The service manual won't be of much use to you on this one.  But I would refer you to Brother Durham's fine Frigidaire Refrigerator Survival Kit:  http://appliantology.org/blog/15/entry-748-frigidaire-refrigerator-survival-kit/

 

If it's been working since November, then it's highly unlikely that you missed a wire. More likely on this model is that one of the other associated controls have gone bad. Interestingly, on the FRS26 models, Frigidaire has you simply gut all the controls with this kit Part number: AP5176342

Part number: AP5176342

 

Unfortunately, that kit does not apply to the FRS23 models. Instead, you will need to replace the fresh food cold control Part number: AP2116225

Part number: AP2116225

 

and the ADC board Part number: AP4909015

Part number: AP4909015

thank you GM

the customer said the first company out, had changed the ff control and had been there 5 times and the frzing issue had never been resolved.

when i got there the damper was stuck open & motor did not run. i changed the damper & today 4 days later i find the same problem, the new damper is stuck open & motor dos not run. so i thought (guess) maybe he missed wired it.

 

but gust thinking out loud, the new ADC & wire harness it should do it, cuss as i remember the damper is rewired  with that wire harness, having only one side of the damper wired, the old wire harness is whats on there now.

thank you agin

the Frigidaire Refrigerator Survival Kit: that is amazing thank you 

from Service Manual # 5995352423 i found on pg.19 that  the FF control is missed wired.

which leads to the question do you think the damper i just put in, shud it be replaced again with the parts you forementioned ???

At this point, you don't know what you're dealing with.  And I still wonder why they waited so long to call you back if that were really the problem.  And then it gets into the who did what.  But, since you were the last one to touch it, you own it.  

 

You could try correcting the wiring and see if that fixes it.  But you have to ax yourself, "Self, what's my time worth?  More importantly, what's the customer's opinion of me worth?"  

 

FWIW, if it were me, I would gut the beast, making sure I fixed it in the very next trip and not get a callback in another couple of months.
