Wow Thank you so much for the $$ thank you! Realy glad to hear you are getting lots of value for the videos. I am trying to figure out a way that I can double the amount of content I make over the next 6 months so I can get to at least 2 videos per week on this channel and 2 videos per week on the Nickstvrepair channel!
I used Nick's Repair Service for a Kemore Gas oven that would not ignite the burners. His repair of the controller board had the oven up and working in 2 weeks counting the shipping there and back plus the repair. I was kept inform by email at intervals: Part Recieved, In Line For Repair, In Repair, Repaired, Shipping Back. GREAT SERVICE!
I do apologize for the longer-than-expected turnaround. We have had more devices than we can handle come in for repair over the last 1.5 months and have been having a hard time keeping up. We do try to keep all repairs in the 3-5 business day window if we can and have taken steps to hire more techs to help with the recent increase in workload. Thank you for your kind words and review, I am glad to hear that despite the longer turnaround you were still satisfied.
Did you notice when you touched the coil solder joint it completely opened up a hole? The reason these joints are a common fail is that there is not enough solder making the connection. It is really nothing more than a "tent" bubble of solder. for the low current stuff this is fine, but for higher power the solder is too thin to reliably conduct and begins to fail.
When you see sparking and burnmarks on the legs of the relay, there is also the same on the contacts inside. When you checked continuity, it showed 3 to 4 ohms.. that is too high and will heat up the relay when in use. it will fail eventually, unless you can get in and clean the contacts. it should be a losid connection with less then 1 ohms resistence across the contacts.
So the 3-4 ohm is most likely due to bad contact with my leads and the fact that my meter is not high-end. If I touch my leads together by default it shows about 1 ohm of resistance or more. Now if cleaned the leads and cleaned the relay legs and then stayed on the legs for a few extra seconds, the reading would have gone down to that 1 ohm or so.
I don't actually know the brand, it's not marked on it, and I can't recall what website I bought it from. I swear it was on aliexpress, but looking on my purchase history it's not there so I don't know. I tried to go back and find it, but I can't I think it must have run out of stock and now they probably have a newer version of it.
Great work Nick. I learn a lot from you. Great work, and great video recording. Thank you.

Great video! Keep 'em coming.
Thanks! Will do!

Oh that could also be part of the reason. Yeah definitely. Good eye
Good job 👍
Thank you! Cheers!

Hey man, nice repair. May I ask the brand (or link to purchase) of the microscope & lens you're using?
