      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!

In general how long can I expect to wait for a request to come through? And by the way the M# RB215ACBP does pull up at the Repair Clinic site. I understand and respect the fact regarding chasing after incorrect / inaccurate Model numbers.

In this case, there's no wait at all because that both the service manual and fast track are  already in the downloads section so you download it as soon as you find it. 

Rewatch the video on how to search and, if you're still not finding it, tell me how you're searching, search term, etc.

RB215ACBP* RB215ACB* RB215AC* I'm still not finding it. Now I can go back further and find it by the bundles. But no RB215ACBP.

Sorry for the trouble.

No trouble! 

Search using the term "rd215*" and you'll find the fast track and service manual.  Make sure you're searching just the Downloads section in the search box or you'll pull up lots of irrelevant stuff. 

Lemme know how that goes for you.

Same as the last time I searched. I'm feeling really between a rock and a hard space here Scott. I don't want to take up you valuable time and I'm at risk of sounding so dumb here.

Please take note of the last three characters in this model number (CBP) That's RB215A(CBP) I looked at some up close with pub dates 2005. This refrigerator was manufactured May 2012. I worry about the algorithm not being the same...

I'm out of town for a few days and checking in on my phone, so I'm a little limited. I'll check it tonight when I can get on my notebook computer and post an update. 

In general, though, the service mode diagnostic entry and other parts of the algorithm don't change much or at all in a model family.

Well that's good to know. I'm going to run this call cold. Only way to break in anyhow.

I got this! I think...
