      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!

this cook top does not have screws in the burners, see attached.  so it looked like the bottom would be the access point but that does not come off either. it looks like the base is glued to glass top. if service manual is not available,  any suggestions I would appreciate. thank you

I've ran into a couple that seemed to be glued. Idk if they were or if the hat just melted the seals. I used my razor knife to free the top but be careful not to brake it they break easily. Almost all the parts inside that thing are no longer available I would take that into consideration before I wasted a lot of time on it.

i wasted a lot of time on this one 25 min just to remove bottom.  the thing was very corroded together, leaving me to believe at first that the bottom did not come off. afraid of busting the glass top i used a plastic tool. and yup parts are on a 2 week back order. thank you
