NO ICE....After the repair man had been out twice and not fixed my ice maker I decided to figure it out myself. No Mr. repair man I didn't put the filter in wrong, it was a design defect that the wires broke from opening and closing the door. Your video gives me the confidence to take care of my home and small repair jobs, while saving money.
That's an awesome repair success story!
How'd that work out for you so far?
Years of working in military mobile communications, than countless hours building/maintaining cable systems in civilian life, I have to say your video hit the high points of field splicing. It was accurate and informative for the techniques you demonstrated, good job.
Also for the DIYer, a hairdryer works great for most heat shrink.
pin this vets comment right now !
I appreciate you!
@@rppdfire You’re Amazing!
@@bogartin4561ify no. Vets are gay
Great video! I've never replaced any kind of electrical wiring before, but I just replaced a defrost thermostat in my 20-year-old refrigerator. Thanks to this excellent video, I was able to connect the new thermostat's wires to the refrigerator's wires using a red butt connector and electrical tape.
The main takeaways that I learned are:
- what a correct crimp looks like (I practiced on the old part several times before I tried it for real)
- be sure not to strip some of the copper wires (thanks for showing that -- I never would've thought to look)
- pull on each end to ensure that the wires are secured in the connector
I credit this video for helping a first-timer successfully repair her fridge. Thank you!
just one thing to add regarding heat shrink tubing. There are 2 types, adhesive and non-adhesive. The non-adhesive ones are not suitable for high moisture environments. Moisture will actually wick inside the tubing and corrode the wires quite fast. The adhesive type on the other hand is extremely good for preventing corrosion. They also tend to be double walled and have a 3:1 shrink ratio.
Wow. This is greatest how to. You speak simply for a third grader to understand but touch all key points like a college presentation. You my friend have a gift for speaking and teaching. Thank you for your time 🙏🏽💯
From automotive mechanics and fixing cars to construction work of all kinds most of it is simple enough for anyone to do.
Especially today with the very extensive easy access to information and exact video walk-throughs of what every project your learning.
Just stop and think about the task at hand prior to starting it.
If your not sure its safe to do then always defer to safety.
I love this video. You tell us how to do something without fussing about, including mistakes to avoid, and the visuals are nice and crisp. Beautiful work!

@@ge5645 No one cares about those.
Glad to see none of those nylon, closed-end crimp connectors featured here. Two wires carrying a high current, joined with those, seems to be what caused the huge recall of those air fryers recently.
I’m not even a mechanic or electrical engineer, but watching this video makes me want to splice wires together for the fun of it..🤩
It is rare to watch video so short yet so clear and insightful. Congrats!
I love this!
As a mechanic, it's easy to get stuck in my ways. I was taught this way, this is how I do it. But I forget that maybe there are better ways of doing things. This video proves it.
Well done. The one thing I'd add is that when working with heavier gauge wires and/or an iron with limited heat output smearing on the rosin can be a big help to help keep things flowing.
Great video. I was taught to melt a little solder onto the soldering iron tip before placing it under the twisted wires. The little molten solder lump greatly increases the conduction of heat from the tip to the joint. With the tip contacting the underside of the joint, the rising heat will rapidly heat the whole joint. Then, add your rosin-core solder to the top. It will melt right into the hot joint almost immediately.
Solder type crimp connector makes life easier
@@Pinkielover Crimp connectors should not have solder especially if there is vibration. The wire will fracture where the solder starts.
@@Pinkielover Yet another thing to have on hand. No thanks.
What is the safest way to connect a copper wire to aluminum aftermarket wiring harness?
Oh my gosh thank you for posting this educational video!! You just helped a divorced mom with school aged kids!!
I loved the style and presentation of this video. It has the feel of an electrical engineer student making a PowerPoint in an early class. It’s simple and explained well. Plus that last connector blew my mind! So cool!!!!!
In the process of fixing some wires on my HVAC I came across one of those PSST Connectors, and I have never seen one before so I cut it off and took it to city electric supply and none of the guys at the counter knew what it was it’s so funny the next day I watch your video and get the name of it! Way to help push the community forward with your experience through quality education. Thanks a lot
I love how you show what happens when you do the “not to do’s”. Love this video please keep it up!
People like you are truly the redeeming qualities of the internet - Thank you.

Don't forget the lineman's splice. Fewer tools needed, but you need to sacrifice more wire as they are tied together. A very strong connection.
Really quite a good information presentation. A nice example was showing the wire clothing burn-through with the lighter. What an easy way to get shard-to-find short. Well done.
This guide was perfect - talks about everything I needed and even more, nice quality, nice sound, nice talking, links. Keep making videos, you can get a lot more subs with this quality.
Thanks man! If I could give you two thumbs up I would. I'd never heard of the solder seal wire connections. I have a short in my car's rear camera wiring in the trunk. I was about to start digging up my solder gun dreading the process while sitting in the trunk my car since I can't remove the wiring harness. While refreshing myself on what little solder experience I had I watched your video. To Amazon I went since the local auto stores did not have them.
Ok so, super gratitude. Feeling clever, might delete later. Headlight socket replacement, in place (tight space) on a 98 Infitniti QX4. After several moments of frustration, this video came through in the clutch. I kept wasting connectors with failed crimps. After watching, I slid a parallel connector onto the car's wire, weaved the wires together ala the solder section, then slid the connector over the wires and crimped with a needle nose pliers adjacent to the wire cutter area which mimics a crimp pretty decent. Electrical tape over the 3 individual wires, then back into the sheath and electrical tape over that. I am please with myself and yall are probably the only people that care LOL. Thank you for reading. I no longer have to pop the hood and jiggle the wire to make my headlight work. PEACE!
This is the best DIY video for wire connections. Rather than just one approach, the top three are shown in detail with pros and cons.

Way to go fella. About time someone shows a few different ways of wire repair. Keep on making great videos too. VF
Excellent video of the various methods. Glad I watched it before starting to fix an outdoor extension cord. I realized I did not have the correct connectors. Thanks for great information.
Great video , I worked for a company called Raychem 29 years they invented heat shrink tubing as well as soldersleevs and much more .... Great American company . 🇺🇸
This is one of the best how to videos I have seen. The only problem is he takes a job that I struggle with and usually make a mess of and makes it look so easy. I wish these things were that easy.
Practice.

This is an excellent video! All information with Pros/Cons and straight to the point. 👍 Thanks again, I really needed to know this for connecting a new light fixture and in the future I'll be connection a new ceiling fan as well. Keep up the good work!
I didn’t know the last connector existed! As someone that doesn’t know/doesn’t work with soldering enough, this is a great solution for my weekend project.
Trust me, when you use the last one, you want to redo basically all the wires you previously did

@@aarongutfreund5799 I bought the big big pack as these virtually last forever if you keep them room temperature but these ALWAYS save time and keep me from getting out the soldering iron. I still recommend using flux and cleaning the wires before using this to ensure maximum adhesion.
Excellent, truely excellent absolutely must have knowledge. A most educational video. Thank you.
Hit the mark on direct, informative and properly sequenced.
Thanks great advice and clear description. Tried first two methods previously with good success. Watched to see if any better way of compact butt jointing nowadays. Your efforts encouraged me to just order a few all in one heat shrink solder butt joint connectors. Will see how it goes but I'm optimistic that it may prove to be my new favorite approach too.
Learned soo much! I've been doing this wrong for years. I'll be sure to check out those nifty solder connectors you mentioned they look awesome for when you're in a pinch.
Dude I just subscribed to your Channel I been heavy equipment diesel mechanic fabricator and welder for 35 years like your channel dude
Excellent content! Very well explained and to the point. Thanks for not having a crazy heavy metal background or some annoying music. I have to echo my fellow DIYs below that the last connector is my new best friend. :)

Wonderful, very thorough and clear.
Thank you for your simplicity of wire crimping!
GREAT VIDIO.! THANKS
Great, informative video. I'd always soldered, but seeing the last type of joining will use these now.
Amazon has bulk rolls of heat shrink 3 to 1 shrinkage with 2 layers and adhesive . I prefer to double over the butt connectors with heat shrink tubes . Very Concise Video !
Same here. Self explanatory n easy to comprehend. Good job.
Thanks for sharing! Helped me install a new car stereo today!
Excellent and concise descriptions
Great video, this is actually something I needed to see and didn't even realize it. Thank you!
Well done. Most videos I've seen so far are crap.. Very nice to professional work.
Thank you for the completeness in addressing this answer
Retired electrical engineer here. Been screwing up crimp joints for about 60 years now. Using pliers type tools to do the crimps was pretty much hit or miss. A couple of years ago I got a $25 ratchetting crimp tool from Amazon. Success rate is much better now but ... I even screw that up sometimes. I highly recommend a ratchetting crimp tool if you're going to be doing more than 10-20 connectors.
This is superb! Thank you for your exceedingly clear explanations. Now...how to splice three wires together? Say, when installing a tow wiring harness in a car? I would love to know how you recommend doing that, as standard crimping rapid connectors cut the wire and I've heard they can cause damage.
Sounds reasonable, but from my way of doing things, nothing can beat the soldering iron.
Well explained and simple language :)! Thanks for all the informations and for taking the time to do the video! Best of success on your projects!
