      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!

Been working on a GE Monogram Freezer for 2 days now.   2006 mfg.  The first call, "My Freezer Is Not Cold".   Going to the house, I found several things. 

 

Top of Freezer 48 degrees (bottom) 32 degrees.  

 

1. The Evaporator Fan Motor seem to be intermittent.  

 

2. The Door Seal does not seem very strong. Possible leak at top.  (The H.O. says the Freezer normally "Sucks" the door Closed?  Can't figure that one out.) Currently it's Not Sucking the Door Closed (even when pushing on it). 

 

3. Defrost Heater is drawing 2.7 amps (and evaporator looks to be free of ice but the Front cover was Iced Up).  Pulled the lower draws and used a heat gun to remove ice.

 

4.  Very little Air coming from Evaporator Fan. 

 

 

The first day I replaced the Defrost Timer Hoping that it was the problem.  Today going back it's not any better. Temps about the same. The defrost timer Red & Black wires go to compressor,  Yellow wire was drawing 2.7 amps in defrost and Orange zero.  

 

I cleaned both sides of the evaporator(s) yesterday.  The compressor high side line is Hot to the Touch (which makes me think the charge is OK).   The suction line is about ambient temp 70 degrees.  Condenser temp is also about ambient. 

 

The kicker is the Wiring Diagram is MISSING!   I have not been able to locate one.   Is the Evaporator Fan connected directly to the Left Door Switch (or does it go through a temp sensor)? 

 

Any Help Would Be Appreciated!  I searched before posting for the Service Manual and shortened the Model Number hoping for a Hit on something close but no luck.

Per posted instructions, (see http://appliantology.org/topic/49629-manual-request-topic-title-must-include-manufacturer-type-of-appliance-and-model/) this forum is for service manual requests ONLY.... ANY repair question must be posted in the appropriate forum.

I Used the SEARCH and Did Not Locate Anything.

 

Sorry if I Asked a Question.  (Didn't see any Edit to remove the other.)  

 

I NEED A SERVICE MANUAL or ELECTRICAL DIAGRAM.

Posted (edited)

While that search is underway, it would be prudent to seek advice in the kitchen forum.

I got the Manual.  I would post it for others but can't figure out how or where to upload it.
