Long story short. Took my dryer apart checked all the fuses. Had to replace door switch fuse. $35 put it all back together. Didn’t call technician or buy a new dryer. Im feeling so proud of myself! Thanks for your video. Jojo
gigglecheeks123 how about a washer?
I'm checking a thermal fuse but when testing is it supposed to stay completely zero or have resistance I'm getting around 6-7 ohms so is this blown or good first time using a multimeter
hi there i need to know when testing it, did you get the Beep on the fuse to determine it's fault? or was it silent. I've had confusing results on Google, which i am certain are describing how to tune and read ANALOG meters.
so SHOULD i be getting a beep on my fuse? cause i'm not.
gigglecheeks123. You obviously know how to set and use a multimeter, otherwise you couldn't have checked the circuitry. You obviously didn't need any help from the video to check the fuse.
You should feel proud, few things more satisfying than DIY success.
All morning trying to find a simple explanation and finally this lovely lady gave me the answer I was looking for. Thank you so much 👍❤
Same here 😆👍
The fuse is a reliable overcurrent protective device, primarily used as a circuit protection device for overcurrents, overloads and short-circuits. A "fusible" link or links encapsulated in a tube and connected to contact terminals comprise the fundamental elements of the basic fuse. Electrical resistance of the link is so low that it simply acts as a conductor. However, when destructive currents occur, the link very quickly melts and opens the circuit to protect conductors and other circuit components and loads. Fuse characteristics are stable. A fuse does not require periodic maintenance or testing. The fuse has three unique performance characteristics.
It would have been nice if she presented the settings on the multimeter before test
continuity
Just perfect!! 👌🏽 You should make videos like this all the time. I give you 💯, You went straight to the point without causing confusion. Most of the time people make videos talking too much and honestly when we search videos on this type of stuff we want pretty much immediate answers so, you rock!! Thank you so much.
Showing the settings would have been helpful :/
I know, right ! Looks like the dial is only in one position but states a lot of different settings ?
This lady remind me of a newscaster...she has all of those head movements and cadences with her voice. Life from Elm Steeet, this is xxx xxxxx.
Can someone please tell me because i can't find out, how do i identify what type of fuse a blender uses, do i just look at its label or what just want to know i have no idea
I can watch Katie talk about electronics all day.
it would have been even better if you had shown the settings on the multimeter for ohms, continuity etc
sweet and simple and seriously informative
You reckon ? 🤔 did not show plug points on multimeter and worse still not mention of settings on dial. Hopeless
Did you say what setting to use on the volt meter ?
I have just watched a man trying to explain the same thing in a fumbling incoherent way and I gave up. Moral is if you want to understand something ask a woman. Thanks for your clear and easy to follow explanation.
great voice, awesome tutorial, thank you
So if the fuse is good what reading will you get? And if it’s bad what reading will you get?
If the fuse is good you read zero ohms, no resistance or very low resistance. If the fuse is bad you read very high resistance or the meter will just stay reading "OL" representing open loop. Please realize that low amp rated fuses (say less than 1 amp) may have a few ohms of resistance. Does this help?
Should I turn on the lights before I check the tail light fuses by test light ?
I have watched multiple videos on the same subject, but nobody shows what setting to put the multi meter on?
Thank you!
What is the setting on the multimeter dial for these tests ?
EXACTLY! if you don't show where dial setting should be everything else is usless
@@bubbaboowie5271 this video was a joke
I like your videos very much. Thanks for bringing so much informative & technical things.
Your welcome, glad you liked it.
@@GalcoIndustrial Pity you video didn't give any information on how to check a fuse. Anyone can give a lecture on what a fuse does. Thankfully there are other videos on RUclips which actually show you how to check a fuse. You should watch one.
Would have been nice to show what position you select on the meter??
I got a fuse for a tv. I get an audible beep from the multimeter but no voltage reading. Could the fuse still be blown?
You could show where are you set the meter on the dial
what does it mean if initial contact to the fuse gives me a number like 300, and then goes down to zero? same result if repeated process
Thanks Katie
Welcome
Thank you for this. Helped me on my backlight fuse which is dead now its fixed by bypassing it
would be nice if the actual setting on the MM were shown.
Well if you look at the meter when the video is at the 1:30 you can see it is on the OHM setting with the omega symbol on it, can't you?
@@GalcoIndustrial my eyes arent that good
Needed to show us the settings on the meter
wow she should be a news anchor
Come of it, Michael, you're only saying that because you fancy her. Just watch you don't blow a fuse, yourself-;)
Greetings ... Had a quick and simple question, is there a way to measure the amperage of a glass fuse via a multimeter ? Some of them loose their embossed print in the steel section and its never possible to know how many amps that fuse is.
Hi there i am examining my dryer heating grid (the small metal sheet in the back with the coil, thermostat and Fuse) and i get the beep when testing the terminals on my coil, and thermostat. NO BEEP on my fuse.
is that supposed to happen? Do i have to keep taking the dryer apart, or have i found the culprit and just need to order a new one?
in my google searches for testing thermal fuses, i keep getting "Set to RX1" but i do not see that on my digital meter dial. I also see "its burnt out if it goes to infinity" (i dont see an infinity sign on my meters screen) and that it should be at 0.00 which i do see on my screen. but it doesn't beep like the others in this video and they just don't tell me in the results if i should or should NOT hear a beep.
i just need to know if those fuses should also beep with the multimetre and if i found the issue. any clarity would be appreciated.
What about TR5 fuses? Will they test just the same? MY monitor is broken and I'm not getting a beep between my TR5 fuse terminals. Wanna know if that's the fault; not sure if all fuses test the same.
Thank you for the demonstration & explanation, it makes sense now🤗
is there a time delay reading on a time delay fuse ???
The video does not tell you how to set the meter before testing/checking the fuse.
+Tomas Romero you are correct that we don't actually show the dial being turned but we do explain how to test a fuse using the continuity and resistance measurements.
Kassim Nazeer were seeing if the fuse is good or bad dumbass.
So much for a video being helpful. 😠😞😳
I'll just guess which is the setting then
Thanks so much, new subscriber here!
Excellent
Glad you enjoyed it Maxly. Anything else you would like to see video's on we don't already have just post your request here, ok?
But you didn’t tell us which part of the dial needs to be on which part!
Nice.
My multimeter doesn't make that beeping. And you don't clarify exactly what readings under what settings to test a PLUG FUSE....
She just did
the values should be identical to if you were just touching both testing leads together. your checking for continuity.
Yes she did. Very clearly.
Did you not watch the video?
Do you even electricity?
Once upon a time a news anchor was moonlighting
Forgot to show settings on multimeter
very nice
The American accent makes it difficult to hear clearly.
How do i test a nissan disable link 24370-C9907
Thank u
Well if I have to remove the fuse to check it then I might as well just use my eyes to look through it 😢🤷🏾♂️
Gaunter O' Dimm hide inside Glass Fuse.
Not showing dial on meter to set on.
rotate the dial to the "continuity" setting. She states it and shows the symbol on the multimeter display.
Yea yea yea, what do you set the multimeter to
Oh yea
does me no good at all as I have no idea what the settings should be on the multi meter - that is 'why' i was watching
Your "Old house fuse" is actually found in all modern furnaces as a protection device.
I think you need to first let people know where the connectors are suppose to be on the Multimeter before you start showing how test fuses. Thanks
How on eartth does she rasp her speech in her throat.
lol I always burn the multimeter fuse bc I always forget to change the probes back after testing current
LOL
Is she just reading off of
SHOW ME YOUR T&TTS
Shut up!
Veg
Madam u r sooo cute and beautiful
so if if is making a sound is good or bad, you should speak in human language
You're just showing me how too connect the probes, & not showing me which setting I need for the multi tester BAD VIDEO!!!
She specifically states its the "continuity" setting and shows the icon on the LED display.
This video doesn't help at all. Soo much information but not once does it tell you what setting you need to put your multimeter on... Pssh unreal
There normally will be a setting with 3 symbols on it, select Continuity (she showed the icon in the video)
You never showed 😔 where to set the meter. So I give you a D and a thumbs down.
__thumbs down for me, she never shows the audience where she has the multi-meter set to and why? basic rookie mistake. lol
Use Continuity, she showed the icon in the video & it should be on your multimeter - select it & test
Hurry up too much blah blah
