      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!

GE MODEL "ZFGB21HZC SS" REFRIGERATOR - CONSIDERING BUYING


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a refrigerator, and found someone who's liquidating his house to move and was using this GE Monogram as a second fridge (36" W, 20.6 CuFt french door with two freezer drawers).  He said he got it several years ago for $800 as a scratch-and-dent, that there's nothing wrong with it except he can't find the ice bucket.  He's throwing it in to sweeten the deal on some patio furniture we're considering.  Seems like a great deal, but is there anything I need to know about this model or model line?  Two AJ Madison reviews mentioned problems, but otherwise I've found very little about reliability online. 

Appliance parts places online tend to want $70-80 for the OEM ice bucket.  Any better deals to be had?

In my experience, there is nothing worse about GE compared to other brands of refrigerators.   Most common failure I’ve encountered is the evaporator fan in the fresh food compartment.   Pretty easy for a DIYer to replace if need be.

Is it running and cooling now? Can’t tell you how many times customers have bought used units that work, come to find out they actually don’t.

Thanks for the replies.  It was running and in use in the guy's laundry room. 

We passed on it, which is fine; probably going to stick with the top-freezer layout.  I'm a little taken aback though, that so many mfrs don't put a light in the freezer...
