The fact that there is no voltage drop means that there is no current flowing through it.

Correct!

Besides voltage, what one thing do we need to have in order to have current flow?

Hi Davon – I’ll get an answer for you on the lid switch shortly.

As for your other question, the order you take the Advanced courses is up to you. We don’t have a strong recommendation.

The most popular order is something like this:

Core
Refrigerator Repair
Oven & Range
Washer & Dryer
Adv. Troubleshooting
with the Business course taken at any point along the way.

But doing Adv. Troubleshooting now is a great option as well.

There’s really no way to go wrong with the order – they are all good courses and will move you along in your understanding. And, you can always go back and review sections of any course when you feel you could use some strengthening.

Hi Peter,

I’ll help to step you through this.

first question: What does the fact that there is no voltage drop across the element, which we know is “good”, tell you?

(If the answer doesn’t come to you right away, think about what we told you creates voltage drop, in Unit 8.)

Found it! It’s in the Refrigerators course, Module 2, unit 6
Troubleshooting Inverter Compressor Refrigerators

Hi Davon – was that in the course here at MST or do you think you saw it elsewhere?

I hope you had a good vacation! Go check your email… I just replied to the thread we had going on this. You’re almost there.

Hi Callen,

I just double-checked and the settings for the Midterm are still set at 90 minutes. If indeed it shut down sooner than that, then there was probably some kind of connectivity issue that disrupted it somehow. No worries – I’ll grade what you did answer and then you can use your second attempt to finish.

We also just added some more info using a GE washer as an example!

Hi Troy,

If you look in the section titled Controls, you’ll see this:

Once the compartment reaches its set temperature, the thermostat shuts off voltage to the ignitor, and once the compartment cools off a bit, it turns the ignitor on again.

I understand it’s disappointing. Don’t worry – we’ll keep working on this together. I am sending you an email, so be on the lookout for it.

Hi there,

You haven’t done anything wrong. We made a few improvements to the Core course last week, including moving the “Operational Overviews” module to the beginning of the course. It is now Unit 2.

You will just need to go back and complete that unit before moving forward.

We did send out a newsletter about this last week- you must not have seen it. We recommend everyone make sure they are on our newsletter list so they don’t miss important announcements!

Here are more details about the changes: https://mastersamuraitech.com/core-course-updates-may-2021/

Hi Everardo,

You need to go back to the new Unit 2 and find the new units that you haven’t taken. Look through each one and then make it as completed at the bottom of each one.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to take the Final exam again.

The question is:

What are potential symptoms of improper air flow in a dryer?

It’s important to understand that the symptom of “no heat” doesn’t automatically mean that there’s something wrong with the heating system. Improper air flow can result in a no heat condition.

Hi Brad,

If I reset that quiz, it will erase all of the work you’ve done on the Basic Electricity module and beyond. I don’t think that’s necessary. (For students like you, who are partway through the course, we’re not going to require resets on the Operational Overview quizzes if your scores are <80%, as that would disrupt all your other progress.)

The other correct answer is "no heating", as improper air flow can lead to overheating which can lead to a blown fuse.

Does that make sense?

Hi Joe,

Your course access is still active, so all you have to do is log into your account and you can see the new units that were added to the course.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
