      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!

Already in the Downloads section. Search using the correct model number and you'll find it. 

 

Just a reminder to everyone: we are professional appliance technicians. We make our living by paying attention to technical details, like it says in our occupational description. In addition to details shown on the schematic and clues on the appliance, this includes details about the brand and model number of the appliance we are servicing.

 

It also includes paying attention to conspicuous details on how to effectively use an information tool like this site to help us do our jobs, such as how to search the Downloads section, which is called out in big red letters at the top of the Appliance Service Manual Requests forum page:

Master,

I got the number wrong the first time because that's what the customer gave me over the phone.

On the second part, I did search for it, and I included the asterisk as you have suggested in the past, but I don't know what the hell I did wrong!  Sorry about that!

Ain't no thang, mah bruvah-- just a friendly reminder for all techs reading this. Doing my part to raise the professionalism of our craft.

BTW, customers are famous for giving bad model numbers because they have no clue about how important it is to us. We always vet the model number on a parts site, like Repairclinic, before we go any further booking the call.
