      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!

You can narrow down your search by including more characters in your model number. For example, you could search "LDF755*"

If ldf* gave you too many and ldf7551st did not give you anything, you then must increase/decrease your search string. Once you get a reasonable number of results (hopefully only one), then you must click on the link to see if the file description covers your model. If the description doesn't state your model, download the manuals and look at them directly for compatibility.

Sometimes this takes a bit of work, but this is part of what we do when fulfilling a model request.

good job but did you learn how to find the manual? Ignore learning proper search techniques to your peril.

Yes I've been getting manuals but I wasn't sure if

the one that was downloaded was for the dishwasher

I was working on.

Now I'm looking for the tech sheet or service manual

for a GE Cooktop.

MOD # PP989DNBB couldn't find anything for this.

When I put in PP* it wasn't ge cooktop.

any ideas.

Thanks

The concern we had was you stated you only did two searches. If you continued the searching by adding letters you would have received this manual http://appliantology.org/files/file/1919-lg-ldf8072st-dishwasher-service-manual/

Although the title shows a different model, if you looked at the file description you would have seen this:

LDF8072ST Service Manual

MODELS:

LDF8574 (WW,BB,ST)

LDF8072 (WW,BB,ST)

LDF7561 (WW,BB,ST)

LDF7551 (WW,BB,ST)

LSDF9962 (WW,BB,ST)

LDS6040 (WW,BB,ST)

PUB MFL37554810

So if you had searched properly, you would not have asked if the model was compatible... based upon the file description, it's quite obvious that manual was not only compatible, but was the exact manual for your model. So by not finding that easily-located manual, we rightfully suggested you work on your search technique.

Got it

Please create another manual request for the cooktop.... and don't forget, you can always search for the type of appliance to augment your search... ie.. i googled your model number and discovered it was a ge downdraft cooktop... so I searched for "GE downdraft cooktop" ... there is a file, not sure if it is compatible .... you may have to compare the models on Searspartsdirect or Appliancepartspros.. and see if they use the same control, etc. That is what we do when someone asks if a manual is compatible. Going through this takes a lot of work on our part so explaining how we do it can relieve some of our massive workload as well as allow you to obtain your manual faster.
