Jennifer's Warranty Tip #43
Samsung tightens the rules & changes the coverage
 Samsung has always been one of the easier companies to work with as far as warranty coverage goes, in my opinion. If a customer called with a cosmetic flaw, doors and handles could be replaced and Samsung would pay the warranty claim, no problem. The customer's doors weren't aligned properly, again no problem.

The dreaded "serial communications error" in Whirlpool-built front-load washers appears as various codes, depending on the particular model. On the Old-Skool Duet washers, the most common communications error code was F-11: communications error between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and Motor Control Unit (MCU).

Tidbits From Dave
By Dave Antrim - The Appliance Center, Lake Isabella CA
The temperatures are starting to heat up outside...OK, maybe not today... but now is a good time to start looking and cleaning the coils on your refrigerator. Think of the coils of your refrigerator like the radiator on your car. You don't want them to look like this picture. If you have animals in the house and tile floors it's a good idea to check your coils every 6 months. The better your refrigerator can breathe the better it will work when the warmer months return.

 What Members Said About the 2013 United Servicers Convention
2014 ASTI Feb. 26 San Diego, CA
"I wanted to emphasize how pleased I was attending this year's convention. It was the first convention I have attended presented by USA/ASTI, in the past I just felt that after being in business since 1978 and the factory authorized servicer for most leading brands - you probably would not have much to offer me. I discovered I was sadly mistaken; the convention was a tremendous learning experience. I am thankful that Lance Kimball talked me into attending. I am looking forward to next year event."

By Sarah E. Needleman, The Wall Street Journal
When Patrick Norris renews his small business's health-care plan in March, he'll need to switch to a costlier plan that complies with the Affordable Care Act. But that isn't the only reason why Mr. Norris, co-owner of a manufacturing company in New Iberia, La., expects the premiums he pays on behalf of his 100 employees to be significantly higher in 2014.
