      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!

I love Dacor jobs because 1) they're easy and fun to work on and 2) the average ticket is almost an ounce of gold. 

 

Go git 'em, compadre!  :armed:

Update on the Dacor Wall Oven. Ground was hot. I had my hand on the refrigerator and touched the control panel :woot:. I advised the customer that they need an Electrician.

Did you measure the outlet voltage from ground to neutral and ground to line for both the refrigerator and the range? That would tell you if the problem was inside the appliance or at the outlet and which outlet or appliance was the problem. The "hand tickle" test doesn't tell which appliance is having the grounding issue.

They had an Electrician come out. He verified the Dryer and Wall Oven were on the same breaker(big mistake) It was the wiring in the house with one lead on the fridge and the other on the wall oven 120 volts was present. Common to ground inside the Wall Oven read 120 Volts at all commons. He replaced the house Circuit breaker box, and pulled the wall oven(better him than me) and found ground melted to the casing. To many amps with the Dryer and wall oven on the same breaker.
