      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!

Yes, the model number you gave uses a computer board and RTD oven sensor-- no mechanical thermostat. See for yourself: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/model-number/36272221200/0582/0124002.html?searchType=modelSearch&prst=&q=362.72221200&searchTerm=36272221200&shdPart=

Not sure what to say. 

What is part 17 on gas and burner diagram?

Posted (edited)

Samurai, look a little closer, not an ERC on back panel, just an expensive kitchen clock/timer!   Not used to control any functions of actual range.

16345Ed, this is a pretty basic range what kind of problem are you having that you think you might need a manual?  Start a topic in Kitchen forum, someone should be able to guide you in any disassembly or other questions.

It was a bad thermostat. Determined on my own. 

 

However I was trying to be prepared and have proper manuals etc before going on a call. Plus in trying to get manuals loaded on my iPad as I come across models. 

I'm good. 

Btw I think that Sears parts diagram is wrong. 

 

Go go to APP type in 362.72221200 and see what thermostat comes up. 

Repair clinic is correct, Servall and Tribles as well.

Looking at the diagram on my phone while driving on the NY Throughway back to New Hampshire, I thought I saw an oven sensor.

Let that be a safety lesson to all: never look at parts diagrams on your phone while driving-- the screen to too small to see accurately in a moving vehicle. Use an iPad instead.

The part Sears site list WB20K10023 is a good replacement or sub, usually found at a much lower price, for the WB20K8 Oven t-stat.   It actually looks like most of part suppliers are now subbing the WB20K8 if you search for a WB20K10023, (Sears still shows the WB20K10023 in stock at half the price of the WB20K8).

Last time I ordered a few for stock, (DEC.2010 - still have one left), I was able to still get the WB20K10023
