A written warranty disclosure given to a customer after a repair must include, at minimum:
Answer: The duration of the warranty, what it covers (parts and/or labor), and any exclusions
Federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act guidelines and consumer best practices require warranty disclosures to clearly state coverage duration, scope, and exclusions.
Which of the following is a correct practice when closing out a service call with the customer?
Answer: Review what was repaired, demonstrate normal operation, explain any maintenance tips, and obtain customer sign-off
A proper close-out walk-through confirms the repair was successful, educates the customer on care, and creates an opportunity to catch any immediate concerns before departure.
Why must a technician document the refrigerant type and amount recovered and recharged on the service order?
Answer: EPA Section 608 requires records of refrigerant recovered and recharged, including type and quantity, to be kept on file
EPA regulations mandate that certified technicians maintain records of refrigerant transactions for appliance service; violations can result in fines and loss of certification.
When a customer speaks limited English during a service call, the technician's best approach is to:
Answer: Use simple language, diagrams, or translation tools to ensure the customer understands the repair and cost
Clear communication regardless of language barriers ensures informed customer consent, reduces misunderstandings, and upholds professional service standards.
What is the primary reason a technician should never accept cash payments that bypass the company's billing system?
Answer: It constitutes fraud, violates company policy, and deprives the customer of a proper receipt and warranty documentation
Unofficial cash transactions deprive the company of revenue, invalidate the customer's warranty, and can expose the technician to termination and legal consequences.
A technician notices that an appliance model has a manufacturer safety recall notice. The correct action is to:
Answer: Inform the customer of the recall, provide recall contact details, and document the notification on the service record
Technicians are obligated to alert customers to active safety recalls and direct them to the proper recall remedy channel, ensuring consumer safety and limiting liability.
