      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!

Just noticed water coming out from under the washer. I checked and its not from the hose connections or the drain pipe. Where to start troubleshooting and most likely source of a leak? Its over 20 years old. Thanks!

Good morning,  I would remove the chasis from the frame and look at the outer tub , drain pump , tub to pump hose, get a flash light and look deep in there where the gear case/transmission meets the outer tub and check for leaks there. In order to run the unit without the chasis you'll need to bypass the lid switch or remove in from the chasis and plug it in and do it by hand . If you don't feel confident doing it , call a repair company. 

Good luck , those are good machines and hope you get it up and going quick

@jmm Happy Easter ! I was just wanting to reach out and see if you found anything on your washer !

Thanks for reaching out! I decided to continue with the washer as is for a bit and see if the problem got worse or better. So far the leak has not reappeared. I'm going with "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". I will keep your recommendations handy in case it starts leaking again. Thanks again!
