Samurai Appliance Repair Man's Blog > How to Troubleshoot Any Appliance

Posted Samurai Appliance Repair Man on 22 August 2012 - 07:48 AM

I've heard a lot of appliance techs complain that the reason they can't fix more appliances on service calls is because they don't get enough training from their company or from the manufacturers. I'm here to tell you that you can get all the appliance training in the world and still be nothing more than a trained monkey unless you have one...

Samurai's Ichiban Law of Appliance Repair : Never replace a part unless you have proof that the part is bad.

This distinguishes the Samurai School of Appliantology from the Monkey Boy School of Appliance Repair . When I replace an appliance part, it's because I have proven that the part is bad. This proof could be something subtle, like an electrical me...

If you've been doing appliance repair as a Professional Appliantologist for any length of time, you've probably struggled through something similar to all these situations:

- You're trying to fix an Electrolux range but you can't even figure out how to take it apart so you can troubleshoot.

- You need to put a Whirlpool Duet washer into diagnostic mode...

Mrs. Samurai's Kitchen > Southwest Slow-Cooker Stew

Posted Mrs. Samurai on 07 February 2013 - 11:41 AM

Here's a very easy and tasty beef stew with a southwestern twist. There are no potatoes in it, so it is low-carb for those of you who are cutting back on the starches! It's thinner than a typical beef stew, but chunkier than a soup. One could thicken the liquid at the end with some corn starch, but I've never bothered. Stirring in some sour cream to your...

Mrs. Samurai's Kitchen > Some old-fashioned, healthy civil disobedience

Posted Mrs. Samurai on 08 December 2011 - 10:37 AM

Many people aren't aware of the growing "raw milk" movement going on in North America, and the resulting political fallout. Basically, many folks have come to realize that drinking milk in its natural, non-pasteurized state has many significant health benefits (plus the flavor is far superior). For many thousands of years, of course, humans...

Mrs. Samurai's Kitchen > Enchilasagna!

Posted Mrs. Samurai on 06 April 2013 - 10:50 AM

Here's a hearty and very satisfying casserole that in its original form is vegetarian, but is easy to convert to meaty if you like - just see the note at the end. This would be a great centerpiece for a Cinco de Mayo celebration, and much easier than an assembly-style meal like tacos or burritos (although those are fun if you have the time!)

Go from this...

We all love those jobs where, given the brand, model, and problem description, you walk into the house already knowing what the problem is. After you've worked as an appliance tech for a while, you start noting that every machine has weak points and particular failure patterns. Some failures become so well-known that the manufacturer will issue a service...

Mrs. Samurai's Kitchen > Eggs-cellent!

Posted Mrs. Samurai on 18 March 2012 - 07:00 PM

We go through a lot of eggs here at the Samurai household - about 3 dozen a week. We like 'em scrambled, fried, in omelets or frittatas, even raw! The simple, humble egg has been much maligned in the press and by the mainstream "healthcare" establishment at times, but we don't let that bother us - we recognize it for the little...

1. Use Only HE (High Efficiency) Detergent

And no, using a smaller quantity of conventional detergent is not the same as using HE detergent, as explained below. HE detergents are not simply a concentrated formulation of the regular stuff. Since front loaders and HE top loaders use much less water than conventional top loaders (about 12 gallons per wash...
