      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!

Whirlpool Refrigerator GT19DKXHW00 overcooling

Hi all,  new to the forum...

I have an old refrigerator that I have been trying to get back into shape.  I originally had a defrosting issue which was repaired with a new defrost thermostat.  Now that the defrost cycle is working again, I am finding that the fridge is running continuously (fridge down to 32F, freezer -7F).  I had the thermostat control set at the warmest possible setting (one more slight turn and it would switch to off) but it keeps cooling.  I decided to replace the thermostat control which was straightforward.  My problem is that I still have the exact same problem so not sure what else to check?  My expectation is that at the recommended settings the fridge should be shutting off somewhere around 37-38F but mine keeps going even with a new thermostat control at the warmest possible setting.  I would appreciate any advice.  Thanks.

I guess everyone is as stumped as me...😕

I'm thinking the thermostat bulb end is in the wrong place or there are parts missing near that area, or the door is not sealing well.

Thanks.  The thermostat sensor wraps around a plastic piece that snaps in to a slot in the top back of the fridge so should be in the place it was designed for.   I don't see any issues with the fridge seal.  I'm beginning to wonder if new thermostat also bad...Also looking in to these thermostat adjustment screws...
