      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!

Going out on probably my first official service call.

Looked for it, but couldn't find anything in the downloads section for this range.

The lady says the oven isn't heating, so hopefully it'll be pretty strait-forward.

Any tips or downloads would be very appreciated!

Also, wish me luck! Thanks!

I just uploaded this Factory parts manual to the downloads section, Click HERE.

It has a wiring diagram at the end, hope this helps.

If the oven won't heat, the bake element may have burned out. It is usually obvious to see where the bake element has burned out.  Test the bake element using an Ohm meter. If it has continuity it's OK. If not, it should be replaced.

​Check the incoming power at the receptacle, It should be 110-120 on both legs.

Don't overlook the obvious or try to overthink it.

Good luck!

You can always get Frigidaire wiring diagrams at Frigidaire.com or their b2b site. If you need a full manual and can't find one here, make sure to request it in the Appliance manual request forum.

Congrats and good luck with your first repair! You are preparing in advance so your odds of a great performance has increased dramatically. Remember it IS a performance... ie act and behave like a great tech and you will, indeed, become one.

Thank you both very much!

Dbshumway, when I went to the link you gave me, it said "sorry, you don't have permission for that.". I'm subscribed and everything... what could I be missing?
