Thank you so much sir for your efforts, plus one more thing I loved, just when you teaching, your students are very polite and good listeners, and once they get chance to speak, they don’t play they stick on the subject, that’s good, keep going
A question: instead of checking for volatsge in various locations why not have it unplugged and check the whole circuit with an oh meter. Obviously when you get to the centrifugal switch you’ll have to plug it in and run it to test that component. The rest would only need an ohmmeter because you can hook it to each end of the cuircut L1 and L2 and if any component in the circuit is bad it will read open. Am I correct. I’m thinking more for safely using the ohm meter is safe and easy.
I always enjoy your informative and easy to understand videos. I was wondering where would I be able to get the service manual if it’s not inside the unit? Thank you
Hello Richard. Another awesome video! This content is exactly what I need to become a better appliance tech! Thank you! I don't understand the abbreviations on the diagram. For example: FS1 FS2 RE, etc. What do those letters stand for? Thanks, Rudi from Richmond. Hope to catch another live class soon.
FS1 and 2 these are just abbreviations of the part name Fuse safety "FS" 1 and 2 just is the p[lace where the wires connect. RE is the start relay. M1 M2 What do you think the M means? and H1 and H2 what are they for, look at diagram and might be easer than you thought.
Do you have a video on wiring on a duel valve solenoid on a gas dryer? With so many direct wire connections I just don't see how the flow works and why.
Sorry for late response I don't get time to keep up with comments, We do have a video on the gas dryer burner here. Gas Stoves and Dryers - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-48b_03ao6Fs.html
Good evening. I have a Roper dryer and when I press the start switch I get a hum coming from the motor. I took it apart and put a test lead on the motor tabs and plugged into a 120v outlet and the motor turns on no problem. I ordered a brand new motor and installed it and I still get the same humming noise as I did with the old motor. Any suggestions? The push to start has continuity, the door switch is functional, thermal fuse and thermostats etc are all good as well. I am stumped.
@@appliancetraining5600 I figured it out. I was trying to hook the dryer up in my shop which has a subpanel in it that is fed from my house. In your house panel the ground and neutral are bonded together however in a subpanel the ground and neutral should not be bonded (seperated) therefore a 3 prong dryer cord (2 hots and a ground) will not run a dryer motor because a neutral is needed to complete the circuit in a 120v motor. I put the dryer next to my compressor and had planned on using the outlet for my air compressor or dryer which ever was needed. The outlet worked fine for my 240v air compressor because for a 240v motor you only need 2 hots and a ground and a nietral is not needed. As I was standing there after tracing every wire and testing everything again and again for continuity etc on the dryer it finally hit me what was going on. I went over to my subpanel and took a scrap wire and bonded the ground and neutral bus bars together and the dryer started working great!!! Thanks for all yalls help and suggestions!!
continuity test really should only be made on individual components, wires or controls, Continuity unless completely understood to test a circuit is hard. You would have to completely isolate that circuit where voltage checks the circuit not the component.
@@TMMApplianceRepair Hey I appreciate you responding very much. One very important question I personally have for you is what you’re explaining in this video when you’re checking these voltages are you checking this while the machine is running?this is a different style of testing that I’m used too. That was the only thing that had me a little confused
I get so confused on how if the motor is the problem, but yet the components after the motor are still getting voltage? Wouldn’t everything after the motor not get voltage if the motor was bad ?
Man I’m glad I’m not the only one. Im sitting here wondering why this ain’t making sense. Im wondering if maybe my mom drank too many mad dog 20/20’s when she was pregnant with me and now I’m dumb
