      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!

EFME617STT0 Electrolux Dryer and Error 42 (Door Sensing Circuit)

I have a EFME617STT0 electric clothes dryer and went in to replace the belt (you could still power the machine up and even turn on the drum motor by pressing all the normal buttons... but post-repair... the door light no longer would come on (everything in that circuit tested good including the door switch and the wiring all the way back to the main board) and the start button would just blink and beep every time you tried to start a drying cycle.  I put it into error reporting mode and got an E42 kicked back out (no other codes) which is a "door sensing" code.  The door switch itself was tested and it works great, the wires examined and continuity tested all the way back to the board.  I have the board pulled and photos attached.  Am trying to figure out which items on this board I should be paying close attention to.  Relays and capacitors?  How do I find the "door-sensing circuit" on this board?  Thank you in advance!

if the switch and the wiring to good, then the board is the culprit. I would check the wiring diagram to make sure there is nothing else in the circuit that could cause the problem before replacing the board.
