Circuit Troubles (Basic Circuits and Common Problems)

[mmartinez]

I didn't know Ray Romano knew so much about appliance repair. Thanks Ray!

Thank you for bringing up this point! We have AC and DC circuits in USA appliances. This is mainly about basic circuit structure, function, and failure. I didn't want to get to heavy into the the aspects of current flow this one. This was also a learning experience for me messing with a new animation program :) Thanks for the comment!

[applianceassistant]

Thank You! I'm trying to learn some new production skills, I'm glad to hear you like it.

great video on explaining how circuits work, types of problems, etc...but the most important thing is that your showing a switch on a neutral instead of the hot.this is a serious user safety concern.i have seen it many times on old and new house wiring.you can confuse a person by showing in your diagram that they will want to put the switch on the white wire which will always keep the device hot at all times.this is a non no.someone might accidentally touch the screw socket portion of the device and get shocked.always put a switch on the hot side of any device for safety.so someone won't assume that the socket, receptacle or appliance is off and then go touching it when the panel breaker or fuse is out or off.

10 years and we are still using this video in science class, anyone end up over here because of online learning?

Thanks for the question! Just today I was working on a whirlpool dryer, model number CAE2743BQ0. And the door switch was on the neutral side of the motor.

0:12 “OH NOO” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭 why is that so funny to me?

[applianceassistant]

You are absolutely right! I have spent many hours scratching my head over a few control related issues... but for the most part (with appliances anyway) its generally pretty simple. Thanks for the post!

[applianceassistant]

I 100% agree! Thanks for the comment!

Good video but I'm a bit confused also b/c I too thought switch should be on hot side.

[CarlosBaldasso]

Thanks for the explanation, very good!

@rituparno100 Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love electronics as well, and I hope you stick with what you love! There is always a need for people who understand how all these gadgets that we use work!

Extremely helpful; been researching about electricity lately. You have gather all of the key factors in a very short video. Thank you so much. Unfortunately, this video is clearly underrated.

[applianceassistant]

Just updated the CC on this video so hopefully translated languages will make a little more sense!

Hey appliance guy! Terry Peterman, The Internet Electrician here. I have a Bosch front load washing machine that I'd love to pick your brain over. I'll check your website to see if you have a way of asking questions.

VERY good video !!! - Thanks for taking the time to explain in such a clear way. I will check out the other videos and your site.

hopefully this will help in my science class, lol, i have 2 days to finish a house and EVERY room stopped working. I'm 99% positive I have a shorted circuit, and I'll have to go through all my wiring, but now atleast I know what I should do. Thanks for the help

[ApplianceAdvice]

Just wanted to say your videos are impressive, you have put sometime into them and they look good! Keep up the solid work friend!

[freemanmoma]

Why is the current going through the bulb 💡 before to go to the switch on your demos of how simple circuits are constructed. Isn’t it the other way around ?

[applianceassistant]

When E is used in place of V it means "Electromotive Force" V for "Voltage" would have probably been a better choice for the video... Thanks for the question!
