      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!

Howdy Y'all.

I need a SERVICE MANUAL

(not a tech sheet) for a WP Ref, MOD WRX988SIBW00.

Need to know how to gain access to the evap section to replace the Bi-metal.

This box has the third intermediate drawer as well as an extra drawer in the FRZ. Basically need info how to get past the drawers.

Bob at coastalappliances.com and I thank you.

I do not see a service manual for this model. My question is why do you need to replace the bi-metal if you have not been able to get to it. This fridge does not use a bimetal. I believe it uses all thermistors.

If you take a hard look at the tech sheet, there IS a bi-metal in the FC compartment in-line with the defrost heater element...

Service Test 6 is for defrost heater/bi-metal also...

I can't locate a service manual or Job Aid for this model either. There is an installation guide that shows how to remove the drawer fronts, but with these newer models I try to release the entire slider assembly and pull it out while still attached to the drawer, if possible, it keeps you from having alignment issues when you re-install them. The refrigerated drawer shouldn't be part of the freezer compartment- maybe this will be useful.

Sorry, looked at parts list real quick while I was on service matters and it did not have one listed that I could see.

I did the same thing, it took me a bit to find the part on the diagram!
