Hi Rikki,
You may be looking at the wrong light. There is a single “surface indicator light” in one location on the schematic, and then there are 4 hot surface indicators lights, one for each burner. You want to find the LF light.
Let me know what you are looking at – how is it labeled?
From unit 7:
The three most common electrical measurements you’ll be doing as a professional appliantologist are:
– Voltage, either DC or AC
– Resistance and its daughter test, Continuity
– AC current, which is always done with a clamp-on amp meter (or ammeter). (Note: For all practical purposes, you will not need to measure DC current in appliance repair.)It’s just a fact – there are hardly any situations in appliance repair applications where you need to measure DC current, since we are primarily dealing with AC powered loads.
A good video to watch to help you with those two questions is the “loose connection” video at the end of Unit 3.
The scenario is similar – two loads in series, and you want to calculate the heat generated by them. One load happens to be a loose wire connection. So, even though it’s not intentional, because the loose connection has a small resistance, it acts like a load on the circuit. Watch that video and see if it helps.
Okay – I just reset you.
P.S. Do you want me to reset that quiz?
If you look at the written info in that unit about symptoms of clogged orifices, one of the answer choices we give you is NOT on that list.
It’s also kind of intuitive – if the orifice is blocked somehow, what would you NOT expect?
Look back at the Unit 8 quiz (Voltage Drop and Load). Do you know how to calculate the correct answers to #7 and #8? (You also missed those on the Module exam). You’ll need to be able to do this type of calculation on the Midterm exam as well.
Hi Everardo – I just sent you an email.

He uses a standard Apple iPad that he got a few years ago.
Here’s the page at the Danfoss website with various downloads for the Refrigerant slider (now called Ref Tools), including a web version you should be able to use on your laptop.
https://www.danfoss.com/en-us/service-and-support/downloads/dcs/ref-tools/#tab-overview
You can download apps onto any devices that you have!
Okay, Everardo. I reset you.
Hi Aaron,
The thing to remember about Module exams is that you’ve seen these questions before in the Unit quizzes. So, it is giving you important information about which areas you still need to get stronger on.
Go back through your Module 3 quizzes. Be honest with yourself – which questions/answers do you understand, and which ones are you still shaky on?
For the ones you are shaky on, review the material in the unit and/or get help from us here in the Forums.
Are you keeping a notebook? Taking notes as you go through the units is really important.
August 14, 2020 at 9:05 pm in reply to: Mod 3 Unit 6 required reading Circuit Breaker Panels and Power Outlets #19556We told you about the book in the “preflight checklist” in the Orientation.
We also told you about a .pdf version that you can use for free in Module 3, unit 1.
See this topic
I’m going to help you with #9 tomorrow. You don’t seem to have been following the train of thought with that one.
So that mean, are booster and ignitor in a parallel circuit?
correct. Does any current go through the Main coil?
can you email me #7 answer that you hid it.
You should be working on these questions in your notebook, and I would hope you are understanding the answers well enough to re-create them.
#8: If you become the Booster, why would you not make the same choice as the ignitor and go through the detector switch to get to N? (electrons don’t “see” or feel any bends or turns in wire. They only feel resistance and voltage.)
#9: that’s correct. We know the element has continuity, so there must be an open on one side or the other. How do the measurements in Figure 2 give us more information about the location of the fault?
