Downloading a manual to kindle

[Sean McGrath]

I didn’t take it that way. And as you may recall, I’m a cop, so believe me, I see the lazy in people on a daily basis, and I completely agree with your assessment!
You mentioned that many techs on appliantology are the type that would rather just know the answer. I have noticed that too and I’ve been surprised by that. I’m glad to be learning the way that I am. Also, I joined a couple of closed Facebook groups for appliance repair. I’ve been both in awe of the collective knowledge of the members, and also kind of shocked by people who post things like “ok, I’ve replaced this, that, and this other part; which part should I try next?” Wow, that’s surprising that people who do this for a living are approaching it like that. I agree that the basic electricity and circuit knowledge is essential, just having trouble digesting it. I know I’m not alone; I’ll keep plugging away at it!

I know, I think the same thing– how are these guys comfortable making a living doing something they don’t understand? I think most of these guys who ask those kinds of questions have not clue that there’s an informed, analytical way of doing appliance repair that doesn’t rely on guesswork. They literally don’t know what they don’t know. They will always be the techs asking questions, never the ones answering them.

Speaking of asking questions, hope you can make it to the webinar this Friday. We’re going to review electric circuits using a Samsung dryer and GE oven as example.
