This video demonstrates how the powerful skills and techniques that we teach at the Master Samurai Tech Academy will make your diagnostic work not only more accurate, but easier and faster.

We went to work on a Maytag jazz board style refrigerator with a warm fresh-food compartment. The evaporator fan seemed to be getting voltage but wasn't running. Change the fan? Not so fast.

Watch how we zeroed in on the faulty component with a few easy measurements from the control panel.

No tearing the freezer apart to reach the fan! (We are all about minimizing the hassle and liability of disassembling the appliance unless absolutely necessary.)

So much of what we teach in our online appliance repair training comes into play in this service call:

  • reading the schematic,
  • using EEPs (electrically equivalent points) to avoid unnecessary disassembly,
  • voltage vs. voltage drop,
  • proper meter settings, and more.

The most important and valuable work we do as appliance techs happens between our ears. Being able to read a schematic, devise smart electrical testing, and interpret the results is what leads to a slam-dunk diagnosis. This is how you avoid call-backs and improve profitability and customer satisfaction.
