Appliance Component Testing - Part 2 | Repair and Replace

How do I test appliance components with a multimeter? In this episode of Repair and Replace, Vance shows how to test switches, solenoids and motors with a multimeter. You'll learn about mechanical switches, thermal switches and pressure switches. You'll also learn about the difference between a normally open and a normally closed switch. You'll learn how solenoids work and some basics on motors. All appliances are made up of some basic circuits and components. Understanding these components can help you troubleshoot your appliances.

Excellent videos. You fill in gaps in knowledge that other videos assume you have, then you give real world examples rather than just a piece of wire on a work table. Thank you.

[@AmreSupply]

Thank you Mark, we're glad that you found it helpful! We feel that its important to always show the "how" especially in our troubleshooting videos. In this video, its not one that everyone will watch but we knew that it would be helpful for anyone trying to get a sense of all the different components. Cheers

Very useful video, thanks.
I used to make all those brass fittings on the last solenoid in what was one of the biggest, if not the biggest turned parts manufactures in Europe. Then the early 90's happened and all the work went to China.

You're welcome Richie, we're glad that you found the video useful.
It is unfortunate to see so much manufacturing shut down on a local level. Canada used to be similar and now less and less manufacturing happens on our soil.

Thanks...I love all the videos. Hope you guys keep it!

[@AmreSupply]

You're welcome, and we're glad you're finding the videos helpful! We are continuously making more videos. Currently we are working on a very detailed series on repairing ovens and stoves. Cheers!

As mentioned here is the Oven and Stove series which includes some "How it Works" videos. They are quite detailed with some 3D and 2D graphics: ruclips.net/p/PLCo9SMjkdWBzSdZB9Un3GKKI0Iohlpf9a

Uei test clamp meter.

[@AmreSupply]

Thanks for watching. A clamp meter though useful in other applications, is not necessary for these continuity tests on components.
