- Опубликовано: 12 июн 2024
- I tend to be the electronics repair point man between family and friends. I can pretty easily fix most electronic items. A sort of do it all repair person. So from my years of knowledge as an Electrical Engineer, let me teach you the things to look for when repairing small appliances like this soy bean milk maker as an example.
If you're looking for a soybean milk machine, here is one option:

Look for internal stainless steel container and not with plastic like the one I fixed.

I've been getting into hardware repair/electronics a lot more lately, so I really dig this video, please more like this!
Now to find more broken stuff. All mine are fixed.
Me too learning the path of electricity helps
I love how ur vids have been so much more casual, relaxed, varied and seems like you are back in the saddle and happy
I got unhappy from forcing myself to do only one thing which is not who I am.
Great job! I’m not a disposable person either. My Dad always fixed things. I have a 20 yr old lawn mower, 15 yr old coffee pot w/grinder, 17 and 13 yr old cars, 23 yr old gas grill! Even my refrigerator is over 20 yr old. Older things just last if you take care of them and they don’t fill the landfills.
In the 60s my dad used to repair appliances neighbors put in trash, clean them, and sell them at the flea market. 👍🏼
Nice way to make some side cash. =D
Brilliant!
Keep up the videos that follow your pure interests! I am an electrical engineering student just like you were, and really find your non-finance videos just as interesting.
Thank you! Appreciate your comment!
The hot water splash made my day watching this video. For whatever reason I was expecting this thing to explode after you put everything back in. This usually happens to me when I attempt at fixing things.
big fan of your random vid uploads seems more interesting and you also enjoy it too. Please it keep it up big bro!
Thanks! Will do!
Thanks for taking the time to make this video
Im not afraid to take things apart if its a thing i really like using .... but i have to take photos of every moment to remember how it will go back together .... my favorite big deal for me was when my 69 Lincoln Mark III had a window problem .... i didn’t know if it was electric or not ...... & i took the door panel off to look at it & i was so suprised to see plastic gears ... it had broken from wear like maybe shelf life .... i was able to find the broken chips of the cog / gear thing & did a reinforcement build up of silk wrap & clear epoxy .... & it worked just fine .... being a woman & i was by my self & couldn’t show it to anyone to be proud of me , my girl friends wouldn’t even be interested .... so i just have it as a happy thing in my memories .... my latest one was my coffee mill ... it was throwin coffee everywhere & into the motor , an
Un believable mess the whole motor compartment was covered solid in grounds .... it had a broken baffle & that caused the coffee go up into the motor ... i was able to get the broken pieces & glue them back ..... that was the messiest thing ever ... i had to carefully
brush all the coffee grounds & powder out of the motor ..... & found the broken pieces mixed into the grounds after i strained it .....it’s rewarding to me to fix odd things ... i’m weirdly good at fixing broken widgets .... i was raised on a ranch & things had to be fixed & hoodwinked all the time ....
Dang bro maybe thats why i like your chanel because we are similar people. The randomness of the videos is what attracted me personally. Yeah the seriousness of money is good but then useful stuff like this is where is at for me and sometimes silly stuff this just means to me that life cant be too serious and there is time for everything learning new things, prioritizing responsibility, and most important play time learning to relax and know what's really important to us. Dang i can see you are a good person just watching your pattern of videos in the past few while not sure how long I've been subscribed but i love it
Thanks! RUclips has way too much fluff these days. So am reverting back to cutting out the fluff which was how I made videos before. Even ignoring the 'best practices' they say you should do.
@@BeatTheBush well keep it up i personally ain't going anywhere
LOL worth watching till the end, good job
I like your new videos! The content and variety is very interesting.
This is great. Keep doing more of these
Dude, thanks for the class. I fixed a ninja foodi Ol601 just with these principles you explain.
Nice!!! Love it when this happens. :D
This was fun to watch.
I always feel good when I can keep something out of the landfills too 😊
It's PERFECTLY usable. I'm having some sesame drink as we speak made from this fixed machine.
Love this video
I like this kind of videos. Thanks, BTB
More to come!
Nice! Please do more videos like this!
You got it!
Can you please make more videos like this? I love electronics and I really want to learn to fix them from scratch (I've been self-learning electronics from textbooks and online resources). I would love to hear your opinion/expertise in fixing devices.
Sure but I kick myself because I fix things without making a video sometimes.
Awesome vid keep them coming
New series Electrical engineering DIY 👍👍
=D =D
Great video! More please.
More to come!
Awesome! I can’t wait for something to break so I can try to fix it!
I hate putting things in the trash. I try to take anything they will accept to a recycling center if it can't be fixed. I usually try to open it and see if I can fix it. Good points to try to repair. Thanks.
=D If something goes in the trash, it's really worn out for me.
Good video! More videos of repair please! :)
I love engineering videos!
=D
Good engineering video
Thanks
@@BeatTheBush do you follow any of the engineering channels on RUclips such as Stuff made here or smarter everyday?
Yes! So cool! Can we have more, please? If throughout this series you gradually increase the level of difficulty and complexity of the gadgets, soon we might see some DIY Tesla upgrades - haha! Cool stuff!
I used to like to fidget with DIY upgrades but it's very hard to engineer something that lasts for 10 years. Most of my DIY stuff just falls apart after that long.
LOL i laughed so hard when it shot out hot water, worth the wait for sure
XD XD
Nice
=D
Some of my best fixes were with items that I took apart to fix for someone, put it back together and somehow it was fixed....didn't have a f*king clue what I did but the owners like "you're an absolute genius!!!". Of course my ego accepted the complement
Sometimes that happens but if you don't know the exact cause, it could come back. But then heck, if it's fixed, don't fix it again until it breaks again.
Hi BTB, I want to learn to repair a bit of electronics; which resources, books, courses do you recommend to learn about general electronics? thanks
For me, I learned electronics with a degree but you don't need to know all of that to fix stuff. Simple electronics knowledge will do and I learned this by tinkering.
I found this video very interesting since I also have a background in Electronics Engineering even though I never really used my degree! Keep it up! :). By the way, the water splatter was fun, but a bit scary. :)
I never learned about AC motors nor how to solder in Undergrad or Graduate school.
@@BeatTheBush Really? I think soldering was the first skill we had to learn!
Hi Francis,
Can you please help me out with my new appliance. I just bought a electric grill from Japan and when I tried it at the first time, its blown and doesn't work anymore. I noticed that Japanese appliances use lower voltage (100v) than Australia (230v).
My question is do you reckon if I just broke it or it's just fine and need a step down converter?
Thanks
It’s blown. Likely the high voltage burnt the motor or if you can find an internal fuse, replace it.
This is really old motherboard for small appliance, newer once now spray on an anti ID, anti tamper grey or tan epoxy coating to prevent unauthorized repairs.
Can you do more vids like this
I usually do them when I have something broken that needs fixing. I just fixed a laminator again. I guess I was too lazy to record it for some reason.
more appliance fixing videos！
I've gotta find more broken stuff.
Lol this guy is gold. from finance to this. lfmao, love it
I hope this is useful.
@@BeatTheBush Not really but it is amusing. I also have a electrical grade
Caution: Only qualified people should trouble shoot electrical devices that use 220 VAC. It can be dangerous.
He's an electrical engineer. He's qualified, but he should have worn rubber gloves for protection.
@@cybern9ne He was probably wearing shoes with rubber soles
Same can be said with things that are 110V. But you know, I only touch it when taken apart when it was not plugged in.
@@BeatTheBush I should have made it clear that I was not referring to you BTB, but to any of your thousands of subscribers inexperienced about such things.
All electricity is dangerous dude!
What is the thing in the background that keeps spinning? lol
lol the surprise blade spinning is just like when you're trying to time when the toaster will finish.
A fume extractor for solder fumes.
Is it practical to replace IC or board components?
I have done so before but it really depends if the replacement cost is reasonable. I might've only replaced one IC for a repair job on a motor driver board.
You are born to be an engineer.
I could fix things all day long and have fun doing it.
My grandfather used to fix stuff like this
Might be the toss away culture these days that make fixing stuff only for the previous generation.
Can you come fix my coffee pot? It's a oxx box keurig, its's made in Asia. The pump makes a noise b and lights go on. But it's not pumping water going to change filter
I do not currently offer that service. I suppose it’s called a handyman?
@@BeatTheBush first I'm going to change the filter I gave it a little tap this morning and it did start perking the coffee so it could be clogged. I have some of them here somewhere. It's an excellent coffee pot it has a nice water reservoir and makes coffee for 2 or 3 days without having to fill it back up and it's all contained I love it very much I have three of them but one I got was defective and I never got my money back they are $250 coffee pot
My grandfather was an electrical engineer. I have never learned it, but I have the capacity to understand. I saw something somewhere that said, if you're going to be using a multimeter to test things, at some point, you will also want a DC power source, like a car battery, so that you can send DC power through the appliance. The thing that I have a problem with is my propane heater. I don't just have car batteries sitting around, charged up and ready to go, and that seems like a huge pain. I would wonder if there was an alternative to a car battery, if some ordinary small battery source could be used instead, if there was a reason why this website or whatever said 'car battery' was the thing you should use - why? I definitely would want to use anything other than a car battery as a DC power source for testing of equipment.
The DC power you need can come from any source that can provide the required voltage and enough current. A DC power supply lets you vary that and use it for many applications. A 12V car battery can only supply 12V but it can provide an immense amount of current. To fix your propane heater, you need to see what voltage is accepts and at what current. I would think a propane heater only needs propane but perhaps it needs some small battery for the ignition. My propane water heater for example requires only gas, and the pilot light generates enough electricity to operate the ignition device.
This video makes me wonder if you ever thought about being an inventor, like create some new mechanical invention.. you have the creativity to do so
I wish it was that easy
@@xxxx-rn3yu same
At least back at my job, I 'invent' things that are patented. The company keeps my ideas.
8:00 How do you bend your thumbs backwards that much?
Double jointed? I use my fingers like this regularly.
this is actually pretty interesting, the food stuff was kinda weird
=D Some here and some there.
it's pretty fun to fix small appliances and it's nice to keep it out of the landfill, but usually easier and cheaper to just replace it
The harder the more fun I have. One time, I troubleshooted a kids toy to the oscillator crystal for the MCU inside. I tore one out of another item and bam, it works.
How to fix appliances: Google/RUclips
How to cook: Google/RUclips
How to learn basically anything: Internet
You can learn anything on the internet except you have to weed through a lot of junk to get the the good stuff.
@@BeatTheBush Yeah, there's a lot of great content (your channel being one of those sources) but also a lot of junk/misleading information. To use the internet you need good research skills. Thanks for always dropping knowledge and I enjoy watching your DIY videos! 😊
I fixed the tachometer in my car. That required some surgery. Next project may be to rewire a florescent tube light so that I can use LED bulbs. Seems easy, what could possibly go wrong?
Hmmmm. Seems doable. You can just remove the florescent light ballast and wire the LED bulbs directly.
@@BeatTheBush Yea, watched a few youtube vids on it. Doesn't seem so bad.
Check the Tesla stock price
I think i might have to send you some appliances to fix 😂😂
It might only be one way since shipping these things are expensive!
I just realized this guy can fix his own tesla if he wanted to.
I’m suspicious he was an engineer for Tesla and that’s why he has one because he probably got it for free.
Beat the Bush, if you see my comment; am I on to you? Am I correct?!
No I never worked for Tesla but does it matter if I did or not?
@@BeatTheBush No it doesn’t matter, you’re awesome. But for some reason I just have the suspicion that you did
九阳豆浆机跟一次性的一样，用了不到两周就坏了，再买一个也是一样！
test wires for continuity. resolder wires without continuity. #fixd
I want to learn cause I need some hobby and also making money with repairing things
*How to fix small appliances as a millionaire
That's how you stay rich 😼
ahahh techlead!
Lol. 10-20 minute fix and bam, $100 saved right there. You rarely buy things because they can almost always be fixed.
12:40
That joint i would prob be more concerned about its amperage flow. If its a low amperage joint then it prob doesnt matter but if we are talking like 12 amp flow of current, then yea that loose joint will eventually break apart from heat.
That seems to be a lot of issues in electronics today, they use thin gauge wires or use cheap solder and try to pump 14 amps thru it, yes it will flow today and prob during its 90 day warranty but after years of use, that cheap solder joint will crack or that thin wire will burn itself open.
By then its out of warranty.
Remember these appliances are made by the thousands and made with the cheapest material and components and made to just outlast their 90 day warranty.
And how many electronic repair shops do we have today in 2024 ?
I only know of 1 in my city. Thats why people just junk it and buy a new one. I am one of those that id rather spend the $$ to fix it rather than send it to the land fill
Your life resembles mine..."Hi Paul, fix"...Me: Why hello, nice chat!
I only fix if asked nicely. One word asks will not cut it for me.
This is your profession lol
You need to find another way to present this information!!!
I'll fix more stuff! And make more vids?
8:39 he should have shown us the connections
Can you fix my coffee maker? 😁
No idea what would be wrong with it but if you ship it to me, it'll probably be a one way shipment.
Is this the end of finance contents as we know it?
Nope. I'll bring those back one day.
Hot water dangerous, goggles, gloves 🧤 next experiment
And ear protection just because lol
Lol. It wasn't too hot, didn't get hurt.
@@BeatTheBush we just want to see full decked out science francis :D
HOWS THAT TESLA FOMO??😆😆😆
Although I would only advise this as a last resort if you were an actual homeless, it is possible to resell this on ebay as is condition, buy the priority mail insurance, ship it, receive a customer complaint that it doesn't work, and then file an insurance claim with the post office. You must possess questionable ethics to actually perform such a thing, but when you're a homeless you're more than likely not going to care.
At least this item no body would want from the black sesame stains.
@@BeatTheBush You'd think nobody wants it b/c of said stains, but another man's trash is another man's treasure. You'll be surprised: Some crazy out there will definitely buy it off of you on eBay.

BTB, isn't it funny how we go through life trying to escape the prison of our society (e.g. being under the thumb of the corporate world/some boss), then we discover there's another slave-drive; we ourselves! We need to give ourselves the permission to become our authentic self (to live a natural life of who we are), otherwise you're still trapped in a false paradigm (seeking to please others etc, compromising who we are).
Sometimes words of wisdom is understood only by those that are ready for it. "Live like true to yourself" pretty much says it in one go but really practicing it takes constant self reevaluation.
@@BeatTheBush Absolutely. It's really hard to do in practice with all the social pressure, conditioning, then ones own hang-ups etc. Personality shines so when people see it they are attracted to it (in its purest form). I had to come to this realisation when over-analysing the meaning of life - I wanted to see the bigger picture but was missing the smaller details (i.e. us, including me). Went full circle back to the here and now. Suddenly this advice came alive to me "Live loyally today-grow-and tomorrow will attend to itself. The quickest way for a tadpole to become a frog is to live loyally each moment as a tadpole." :)
My favorite part was when the motor started up and water went everywhere. That was unexpected. Thanks for keeping that in the final video cut.
XD XD =D
I dont know if you know but there's a guy impersonating you and responding comments then giving bitcoin investing advice.
I saw a few. I try to ban them but they keep coming back.
Your desk gives me anxiety.
You don't wanna see my home
That's one of the 7 wonders of an engineer - when on a mission they can go from Nazi like obsession with cleanliness/tidiness one minute, to a complete shambolic mess the next 😂
There are a lot of tools on my desk and I use all of them.
What's your IQ? Any idea? I feel like it's pretty high.
No idea. Thanks though!
You got a new job?
You could say that I gave myself a promotion.
it's a very discouraging video cause you sound discouraging
Oh yeah?
I'm all for saving and investing but fixing everyday $10-$30 appliances after years of it working ...nope not wasting my time. trash
A soybean drink maker ranges from $90-200.
@@BeatTheBush now that is money
Seriously bro?
From investor to repairing small gadgets? What ever works I guess.
Because I can. =D
Dude, you're losing it..... You need to find something worthwhile to do, else you'll go crazy living alone.... Trust me, because I have been there.
Fixing things for people is pretty worthwhile to me.
