What are the basic types of components in appliances? How do I test appliance components with a multimeter? In this episode of Repair and Replace, Vance explains the basic types of components in appliance. You'll also learn how to do a continuity test on fuses, heating elements and thermistors using a multimeter. You'll learn about the difference between load and non-load components, and some of the normal resistance ranges for different components. All appliances are made up of some basic circuits and components. Understanding these components can help you troubleshoot your appliances.

I Love that you show us the symbols for electricity and components. I was also amazed that you took the time to acknowledge me in the multimeter episode even when this series started 4 years ago

Hi Kelly, thanks for watching again! Even if a video was posted years ago we still reply to all comments. As for the symbols and graphics, we try to use these visual symbols to make something more clear to understand. It all helps!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This information is priceless! You cannot believe how many appliances are simply thrown away because the average consumer does not have basic knowledge of how these basic electrical components work. The cost to have the repairman to fix is cost prohibitive! So far we’ve fixed a Bosch washer, a 17 year old microwave, and our 25 year old refrigerator! Current trying to fix another refrigerator with a possible bad thermostat.

You're welcome Betty! We're just happy that the video was helpful to you. We are actually working on a series on refrigerator troubleshooting and repairs, but it won't be finished late 2022. We did however create a in-depth series on oven and stove repairs that you might want to bookmark: kzfaq.info/sun/PLCo9SMjkdWBysYYCcg5xQLiVh_cW0JQvt

Great information! I'm struggling to figure out the specific part on an LG washer control board that left black soot close to the heatsink. How do I determine if it was a relay, a resistor, a fuse, or the heatsink that went bad? A new control board is $225 for my front-load LG washer. I would much rather replace a piece on the control board for $20 or less if possible. Your video was very informative about using the multimeter for testing various parts. I'm wondering if there is a way to test the heatsink? The LG washer control boards have a thick silicone-type apoxy coating poured over the parts. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I just don't have the funds to replace the control board right now. Much less a new washing machine. Plz help!!!

Thank you for watching. This video explores the larger components used in the appliance and not the components which are built into the circuit board. It is possible to narrow down and replace components on circuit boards but this takes a bit of knowledge and special tools. There are whole channels on KZfaq dedicated to these sorts of repairs so it is not something we decided to focus on.

Greetings AMRE and thanks for this great video. One of my stove's heater elements does not hold its heat at a static temperature. I have it set for #3 on the heat dial and the coil gets red hot and I need to shut off the element and then turn it back on to restart the element. Any suggestions on what this is?

@AmreSupply 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. Its likely an issue with your heat switch. We actually created a whole set of videos troubleshooting stoves including a video to this very problem. Stove element stays on high: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oplpqbKfzdfSmJs.html Direct link to the video without the playlist: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oplpqbKfzdfSmJs.html

@Sc19869 8 ай бұрын

Is there a difference between continuity and resistance, or is that just how you test both.

@AmreSupply 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. If something has resistance than it has continuity as there is still a continuous path for electricity to pass through. A continuous path could be at any resistance, as a resistor such as a stove element may have a resistance of 40 ohms. The fact that it can measure resistance means that there is continuity. Switches and wires are meant to just allow electricity to pass through and will have a resistance between 0 and 1 ohm.
