      So apparently there is an issue with the Chrome browser which I use. I was able to get the missing button in Explorer. But what about this information which is mandatory in order for the form to be submitted? This does not apply to me.

        Hi Scott. I am on the page where the form is located but I do not see an option to submit it (no submit button).

          Got it. Thanks again Scott!

            This is great! At what point would you recommend joining the Appliantology and buying basic and appliance specific tools?

              Will you be providing more information on these types of specialty tools? I think that this is valuable information that we can use.

                Got it. Speaking of disassembly. What if I will be on the job by myself and will work by myself in general and it will appear that second person is needed for help. What would you do in that case?

                Did it ever happened to you when customer did not describe exact problem properly and didn’t give you an exact number of appliance? How did you go about that?

                  Thanks Scott for the response. For the beginner would you recommend to get familiar with every brand that is available right from the start?

                    Are we going to cover anywhere in the Fundamentals course the troubleshooting of the mechanical problems and once that do not require to check the schematics or run electrical tests ( washer is leaking for an example)?
                    Also, what are your thoughts on servicing brands such as Miele, Dacor and similar once? Are they harder to work on than Whirlpool for an example?

                      It would be a short. Circuit will not have any resistance which makes it fault condition.

                      It is good that this was cleared at the beginning so going forward I will need to apply Ohm’s law to any electrical issue. Thank you, Susan!

                        A. So, if I am correct as far as electricity will take the pass of least resistance, then current will flow through the shunt ( closed switch), bulb and back to L1

                        B.Current will flow through resistive load, bulb and then back to L1

                        C. In parallel circuit current will divide because it has two or more path to flow.

                          Is it just because of the fact that electricity takes the path of least resistance?

                            So, the closed switch has no resistance and I understand that the shunts are designed in to bypass the loads. But why wouldn’t the current go through the heater as well when the switch is closed? The correct answer that I was given on the quiz was that electrons do not see the load. How couldn’t they?

                              Susan, can you also clarify why there is a shunt with a switch in this circuit. What role does it play? Why wouldn’t the heater operated when switch is closed? Does it have to do with resistance of the heater and a switch? I have not seen similar circuit in the book to get clear understanding. On the other hand the explanation of Shunts and Short in the on line presentation made more sense.

                                To me, they look like series circuits.

                                  You understood my question correctly. Was this information given anywhere in the lecture? Also, in the same quiz question we had a branch with a load and branch with a switch. What type of circuit is it then, series or parallel? Are parallel circuits have to have only loads in order to be considered parallel circuits?
