      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!

Could not locate it in the download section. There are one similar but now this one.

So, you are saying the manual is not compatible? In what respect?

btw, if you won't take the time to include manufacturer and type of appliance as per posted notice, then your request will not get priority treatment... ie... ill feed my dogs first, then feed my face, watch some bonanza reruns, have my third beer, respond quickly to someone who just requested a manual in the proper format, count the number of green M & M's in that 2lb bag I bought yesterday , do a few chores on the honey do list..hold up. wait! Hell no, I think I'll follow up with you before I do the honey do list stuff.... but... maybe... tomorrow.... if it's raining that is..and sometime after the football game... uh... games. That's right, Nfl back on Sunday's... even at night.... then there's Monday Night Football!

But cheer up! .... we use to simply delete this type of request... but now we will let you suffer a bit in manual request purgatory. Man, I could have gotten you 5 manuals in the time it took for me to write this...yeah... but that ain't nearly as much fun.

This one has dual evap and the dispenser is different. The diagnostic mode does not work for this model either. It is a GE French door. I believe it is really a Samsung though.

ah ha! (but of course I knew that already) Then, my friend, you did not find similar models in your search. Did you try truncated searching? in fact, do you want to know why we require manufacturer and type?.....

Watch this....

go to the download section and search for "GE Samsung French Door" and watch the magic happen..... let me know what you find.

Posted (edited)

You da man!


So what did we learn today?

We learned that including the manufacturer, type of appliance as well as the model number is important for a manual request.

We learned that widening your search using the aforementioned manufacturer and type of appliance can yield good results.

We also learned that truncated/wildcard searching, ie using part of the model number along with an asterisk (like "GFSF6*" or "GFSF*"in this case) is one of the best ways to find info..

but more importantly, we learned that I, being able to magically conjure up manuals out of thin air when at first none were present, STILL GOTS THE POWER!!  :banana:
