      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!

Bad model number.

Please verify the model number BEFORE you post a service manual request. You can easily do this by plugging the model number in to an online parts site.

The point here, Scott, is that professional technicians, knowing how important model numbers are, should verify they have a valid model number BEFORE they post a request and waste their time and ours. I'm here to help professional techs improve their craft to the extent they are willing to learn. But not bothering to verify a valid model number is sloppy and lazy and that I cannot help. So let's stop handing out fish and instead teach them how to fish.

That would eliminate most of my customers!

Sorry for the error!

And Thanks Scottthewolf for your efforts in figuring this out for me and providing the Tech Info!

All I can get on Service Matters now with their new site re-design is the use and care guide and parts manuals-- no more access to the Maytag historical library. Hopefully they'll restore that functionality soon!
