Great video. It really helps to get a visual on these topics. Question; would you be able to do the same testing at the board and come up with the same results or do you want to go to the actual load itself and test? Also, what was the initial customer complaint for the service call discussed here? Was a warm fridge?
Also, I was wondering if Samurai had any videos of live troubleshooting BLDC fan motors from the board? I know he discusses them to an extent in the core classes but I can find any where he troubleshoots them live with a DMM.
Thank you.
Ok thank you Susan.
Advance refrigerator repair
Unit 5 (the refrigeration cycle) the video of Samurai troubleshooting a damper.
Got it! Also, on module 4 unit 8, the second video with the snap on circuit done by Mr. Samurai. If you test for voltage source, not voltage drop, the meter will tell you the workfare potential. Let’s just say 120v AC. So there is no current running through the circuit because it’s not plugged in or it’s not closed. What happens when you measure the voltage source and it should read nominally 120v, but it’s reading 0? Does that mean there is an open or beak in the wiring? Hopefully I’m making sense.
Understood. The math would apply if there were 4 loads in series correct?
How did you calculate the 1/4 and 3/4 from the first method?
#1 It should take 2 leads to make a voltage measurement. Voltage is a measure of potential difference between two points.
#2 I’d say no, neutral is not a reference point in a 240 VAC. It’s just present for safety purposes?
Hey Susan,
Can I please get some more clarification on how the Appliantology membership works? I am enrolled in the core classes and am about a third of the way done. They way I understand it, is you get 6 months free upon enrolling into classes then if you hit all the quiz and module markers, you get it free for one year? Also, does the free membership not allow you access to all content such as tech sheets etc?
Thank you.
