IF you unplug or kill power to range first. If you don't kill power before you try to remove the element, you'll turn a simple, plug n' chug job that only requires a screwdriver into job into one that requires wire repair tools. That's because you're probably going to arc or burn one of the terminals attached to the heating element as shown in this video. Watch with amazed bewilderment as The Appliance Guru expertly replaces the burnt wire terminal and completes that the client started but couldn't finish. You can buy the replacement bake element for any brand and model of electric oven or range: http://bit.ly/NSRnWf The Appliance Guru provides prompt, convenient service in the following towns in New Hampshire: New London, Elkins, Wilmot, Springfield, Georges Mills, Sunapee, Mt.

This is an excerpt from a Master Samurai Tech workshop where we worked through four case studies on old skool dryers. In this webinar, we took a step back from our fancy electronics to the good ol' days of simple AC circuits. Well, I say "simple", and that is true -- but engineers back then had to pull out all the stops and do some pretty cool circuit tricks to get the functionality they wanted. This means that, to really understand what's going on in these older circuits, you need to have a firm grasp of both AC circuits and the technology used. In this webinar, we: * Worked through 4 real-world dryer case studies that have faked out today's technicians * Gained a deeper understanding of basic AC circuits and dryer components like start relays, motor centrifugal switches, and TCOs and how they function in dryer circuits * Explained the famous “loads in series” configuration and showed it in action * Illustrated the non-analytical troubleshooting technique of jumping the switch * Explained how TCOs operate and why they go open * Explained why amp measurements are always the first SOP move when troubleshooting any AC circuit and especially when a dryer TCO has opened. * Learned why sharp techs prefer live tests over ohms tests any-freakin-day Summary of the Case Studies: Case Study 1: * How does the push to start relay work in the circuit? * Does Timer switch 4 always complete the Neutral for the motor regardless of its switched position? * How does the centrifugal switch function? * What does the switch below the “Temperature Selector” switch do? * How does the buzzer operate? Case Study 2: * Dryer motor no-go * Press start button, hear a humming at the start button * Disassembled the dryer thinking the blower was jammed * Ordered the start “switch” based on the customer’s “diagnosis” Case Study 3: * No moisture sensors * Is Auto Dry cycle controlled by the timer? * How does the dryer know when the clothes are dry? * What component failure could cause this dryer to run and cycle heat but not advance the timer? * What troubleshooting move should you make to prove the problem? Case Study 4: * Dryer no heat * Tech found open TCO. Replaced both the TCO and Operating Thermostat * A month later, callback: same problem, replaced same parts * Next day, another callback: same problem. Noticed terminal on Hi Limit was loose and wire corroded. * How could he have found the loose connection on the first trip?

In this short video, The Appliance Guru reveals the ominous tell-tale banging sound of a broken drum support spider in a Samsung front-load washer. And don't worry, Samsung is not alone in this-- this is a typical sound for all front-loaders with this failure and all brands are subject to it. This particular washer is only three years old. This is normally a terminal event in a front load washer but Samsung is stepping up and making a concession to the owner toward a new machine.
