I Love that you show us the symbols for electricity and components. I was also amazed that you took the time to acknowledge me in the multimeter episode even when this series started 4 years ago
Hi Kelly, thanks for watching again! Even if a video was posted years ago we still reply to all comments. As for the symbols and graphics, we try to use these visual symbols to make something more clear to understand. It all helps!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This information is priceless! You cannot believe how many appliances are simply thrown away because the average consumer does not have basic knowledge of how these basic electrical components work. The cost to have the repairman to fix is cost prohibitive! So far we’ve fixed a Bosch washer, a 17 year old microwave, and our 25 year old refrigerator! Current trying to fix another refrigerator with a possible bad thermostat.
You're welcome Betty! We're just happy that the video was helpful to you. We are actually working on a series on refrigerator troubleshooting and repairs, but it won't be finished late 2022. We did however create a in-depth series on oven and stove repairs that you might want to bookmark: th-cam.com/play/PLCo9SMjkdWBysYYCcg5xQLiVh_cW0JQvt.html
You're welcome Lance! We're glad that you're finding these videos helpful. We know these videos won't be the most viewed content on our channel but we felt that it was still good to dive into these concepts and try to sum it all up in a couple videos!
You're welcome Thomas, we're glad that you're finding the videos helpful! If you're curious, we just finished a series on oven and stove troubleshooting & repairs. There are some good overall videos like this one: th-cam.com/video/L9ZI5GyON9I/w-d-xo.html
not to be a jerk but continuity is the next setting on the dial (one down from the Ohms on this dmm with the multiple lines) , you will hear an audible beep if it has continuity and no sound if there's an "open" (no continuity)... peace, great videos, thanks
Thanks for watching. Yes at 1:10 we mention "To test a component for continuity first set the multimeter to the Ohms or resistance with tone setting". We demonstrate with the resistance setting as it's most applicable to more multimeters.
Great information! I'm struggling to figure out the specific part on an LG washer control board that left black soot close to the heatsink. How do I determine if it was a relay, a resistor, a fuse, or the heatsink that went bad? A new control board is $225 for my front-load LG washer. I would much rather replace a piece on the control board for $20 or less if possible. Your video was very informative about using the multimeter for testing various parts. I'm wondering if there is a way to test the heatsink? The LG washer control boards have a thick silicone-type apoxy coating poured over the parts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I just don't have the funds to replace the control board right now. Much less a new washing machine. Plz help!!!
Thank you for watching. This video explores the larger components used in the appliance and not the components which are built into the circuit board. It is possible to narrow down and replace components on circuit boards but this takes a bit of knowledge and special tools. There are whole channels on TH-cam dedicated to these sorts of repairs so it is not something we decided to focus on.
Thanks for watching. If something has resistance than it has continuity as there is still a continuous path for electricity to pass through. A continuous path could be at any resistance, as a resistor such as a stove element may have a resistance of 40 ohms. The fact that it can measure resistance means that there is continuity. Switches and wires are meant to just allow electricity to pass through and will have a resistance between 0 and 1 ohm.
Greetings AMRE and thanks for this great video. One of my stove's heater elements does not hold its heat at a static temperature. I have it set for #3 on the heat dial and the coil gets red hot and I need to shut off the element and then turn it back on to restart the element. Any suggestions on what this is?
Thanks for watching. Its likely an issue with your heat switch. We actually created a whole set of videos troubleshooting stoves including a video to this very problem.

The best graphic display for learning.
Thank you, we're just happy to share some good info in a format that makes it clear!
This was great thank you. I have my multimeter coming in today. I suspect its the Thermistor.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for these videos. I'm a new kitchen manager and these are priceless.

I love this videos. Keep it up. I've learnt so much from you. Thank you
Thank you Alfy, we're glad you're finding these videos helpful! The good news is that we have more videos on the way!
Thank you, this video is just the ticket to my new career. Onto part 2…

Is there a difference between continuity and resistance, or is that just how you test both.
