      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!

Looking for a service manual for a Kenmore frig. 25369802892. I looked in downloads but it didnt show any. We replaced the defrost & thermostat & it is still running to cold in frig. Freezes everything & it is nearly in the off position for both the freezer & frig. Hoping that trouble shoot will shed some light.  Thank you.

Moving Freezer control to a warmer setting will open the damper, dropping cold air out of freezer... so where will that cold air go? That's right.... into the fresh food compartment making it colder.... simple mechanical damper door. Imagine you have two rooms cooled by the same window air conditioner (evaporator) . there is a door between the two that's half way open (damper in normal position set by freezer control knob) . If you want the room with the air conditioner warmer... open the door wider... guess what happens to the adjoining room?

The thermostat in the fridge section is like the controls on the air conditioner. If you replaced the temp controller, check and adjust damper. The only other thing that can cause this is an evap motor turning the wrong direction and a refrigerant leak.

As for thw manual. You should already have it.... 253 prefix means it is made by Frigidaire and I am certain you downloaded everything in my Frigidaire survival kit... right? okay, maybe not...

Go here and download the top mount Frigidaire manual...http://appliantology.org/blog/15/entry-748-frigidaire-refrigerator-survival-kit/
