Long story short. Took my dryer apart checked all the fuses. Had to replace door switch fuse. $35 put it all back together. Didn’t call technician or buy a new dryer. Im feeling so proud of myself! Thanks for your video. Jojo

It would have been nice if she presented the settings on the multimeter before test

All morning trying to find a simple explanation and finally this lovely lady gave me the answer I was looking for. Thank you so much 👍❤

[dannykrinkle]

Showing the settings would have been helpful :/

The fuse is a reliable overcurrent protective device, primarily used as a circuit protection device for overcurrents, overloads and short-circuits. A "fusible" link or links encapsulated in a tube and connected to contact terminals comprise the fundamental elements of the basic fuse. Electrical resistance of the link is so low that it simply acts as a conductor. However, when destructive currents occur, the link very quickly melts and opens the circuit to protect conductors and other circuit components and loads. Fuse characteristics are stable. A fuse does not require periodic maintenance or testing. The fuse has three unique performance characteristics.

Just perfect!! 👌🏽 You should make videos like this all the time. I give you 💯, You went straight to the point without causing confusion. Most of the time people make videos talking too much and honestly when we search videos on this type of stuff we want pretty much immediate answers so, you rock!! Thank you so much.

This lady remind me of a newscaster...she has all of those head movements and cadences with her voice. Life from Elm Steeet, this is xxx

I have just watched a man trying to explain the same thing in a fumbling incoherent way and I gave up. Moral is if you want to understand something ask a woman. Thanks for your clear and easy to follow explanation.

I can watch Katie talk about electronics all day.

[stevieatkinson]

Did you say what setting to use on the volt meter ?

[nativeboy]

So if the fuse is good what reading will you get? And if it’s bad what reading will you get?

[Black-ongp]

Should I turn on the lights before I check the tail light fuses by test light ?

[shaoqingshi]

sweet and simple and seriously informative

[actionjackson]

I have watched multiple videos on the same subject, but nobody shows what setting to put the multi meter on?

[workz]

great voice, awesome tutorial, thank you

[bluemoon]

it would have been even better if you had shown the settings on the multimeter for ohms, continuity etc

[zbi]

what does it mean if initial contact to the fuse gives me a number like 300, and then goes down to zero? same result if repeated process

[billbogg]

What is the setting on the multimeter dial for these tests ?

[dennmatoza]

Thank you for this. Helped me on my backlight fuse which is dead now its fixed by bypassing it

[hmtrimworks]

You could show where are you set the meter on the dial
