      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!

me either. Thanks Durham. I really need one, a  wiring diagram at least. I worked on this unit today and the soap dispenser solenoid kept energizing and de-energizing. With my lack of experience I did not know why it was doing this.  I could not test from the control without the diagram. I removed the wire connector and tested the solenoid for continuity and it was dead as a door nail. So like a big dumb ass I replaced the the soap dispenser (you cannot replace just the solenoid on this unit). Started that baby up and about 10 min into it the solenoid on the dispenser energized and got stuck. This horrible loud buzzing started and would not stop until I shut the power off.  I now know that it was getting constant voltage and the control board is bad. It was not a good moment when i had to go to client and tell them they now need a control board. I feel pretty stupid. If had only had the brains to know that both were bad I could have told the client. I feel like I failed them by not providing all the information they needed to make a sound decision about spending the money to repair both issues. Did I do a bad thing by replacing that soap dispenser without testing the control?  Should have I known that the control board was bad too? I told the client I would split the cost of the control board. Not a good day for Ms Ann. I almost cried. Not because of the money because I failed them. What is your thought?
