      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!

Dacor ECPS 127B Light Fixture

The light fixture on my mother-in-law's 20 year old Dacor oven has rotted out. I am not concerned with restoring the light function but given the manner in which the fixture has failed I want to be sure the the oven is safe to operate.  I don't know how long this condition has existed, the old girl's memory ain't what it used to be.  She actually doesn't use the oven but she wants to host Thanksgiving so she doesn't have to travel.

There is no way to secure the heavy glass oven light bulb cover as the thin stamped sheetmetal "shell" which supports it has rotted out.  This leaves the light socket exposed in a 3" circular recess at the top of the oven. Is it okay to use the oven in this state? If not, will patch the opening with a piece of stainless attached with sheet metal screws do the trick?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

 

 

 

 

into which a heavy glass bulb cover screws. The shell itself screws into the top of the oven and the lens screws into the shell.   Both the mounting flanges on the shell  and the holes in the top of the oven into which the shell . Short story, a 3 inch hole in the top of the oven where sits the unprotected socket for a light bulb.
