      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!

I have begun my tear down to do a complete refurb on this stove for my own use.   It's in good shape other than the friggin mouse poop I discovered in the burner box area.   I have to replace the insulation between top of the oven and the burner box as the mice urinated in the corners which have a hole/opening  -  the insulation is ruined.  Nasty....

I've scoured the web and can't get the specific service manual .   The stove is discontinued (Mfgr  date - 1999 ) and I can only find manuals  that are "similar".   I don't know what the "I" stands for in VGIC.  I'm assuming model means "Viking Gas Infrared Convection".   I've seen "VGSC" manuals, but that unit is a "Viking Gas Self Cleaning" .  I know it may be "close enough" but I'd still like to have the exact one if it all possible. 

Also

- I did upgrade my membership but that was a while ago..do I have to do that again?  

 

And Can anyone get a hold of HIROSHI for me ?  He responded to my other post - I was hoping for a follow up .

 

Thank You! 

Bob

I am also looking for this service manual, VGIC305.

In the event that I cannot be given access to the manual, can anyone tell me if I can access the convection fan from the front of the range?

If I know this it will help me when performing my inspection for a forensic investigation.

In the past, since I am not a repair technician, it is not shared with me.

However I am a forensic engineer. In the past I have worked for and against major appliance manufacturers.
I have pleaded with the website manager to give me access to manuals but they refuse access.

I cannot answer for your model, but the majority of convection fans are accessed from inside the oven. If you look inside the oven, there will likely be Fasteners holding a cover over the convection area. Please let us know how it goes
