      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!

Well if you find one please share. Whirlpool doesn't seem to like giving that info out. The closest thing I've ever found to thermistor reading chart for Whirlpool is on the techsheet with 3 values at 0 32 and 100 I think. Even with access to their website, I still have to call techline on their stupid sensors. One of their guys tried to send me a chart on my phone for one type of their sensors but it never came through. Did you check the the techsheet the fridge yet?

Been finding a lot of Tech sheets under the top door hinge cover of the fresh food side door.   Folded up tighter than a door spring.   Hard to put it back but please do,  you may have to go back in a couple of years for another repair.

This thermistor pn 2188820 is found in many whirlpool models, including the 2001 K type models such as GC5SHGXKB00 ... thus the thermistor temperature chart in the manual for that model applies:
