      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!

Samurai Appliance Repair Man

This was just this afternoon, here's the download I linked to. He/She couldn't find the manual so I found it and linked to it, the post just disappeared.

Bro Spanner, He couldn't find the manual because he isn't an apprentice therefore cannot download . I deleted the thread. That thread was made  in the kitchen forum and not the Appliance manual request forum   Grasshopper also cannot post in the Appliance service request forums. Some grasshoppers think they can circumvent paying the small amount required to request a manual properly and instead requests it in a repair forum.

 

You might not be able to see if the person is a grasshopper or not if you are using the mobile site, but you can tell if the request isn't in the manual request forum.  Some grasshoppers are told of the requirements when, in the course of their properly posted repair thread, they happen to ask for a manual. But this grasshopper actually entitled his thread "In need of xyz manual"  and posted in  the kitchen forum.  I deleted it once yet he reposted it.....there is no way a person resposting a thread can avoid reading the notices....So the second time I deleted it and also sent him an instructional message.  I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you

I thought I saw it posted more than once. That explains it.

Yeah but the second time the title included the word "Please."   Man, that made me feel bad but I had no choice.  However, 

1) if the person is in the business, there is no excuse for not being  a member of appliantology as it is soooo inexpensive or

2)  a homeowner that owns a Wolf  has enough  money to pay for  a membership or  hire a tech.

 

So I don't feel too bad...lol
