      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological: bidness, customers, tools, troubleshooting, flavorite brewski, whatever. Webcams and microphones are open and live!
      This workshop is also a great time for any students at Master Samurai Tech to bring any and all questions about the coursework. We're happy to walk through any concepts you're having trouble with. Think of it like office hours with your teachers. 
      If you have a specific appliance problem you'd like us to talk about, post it here! We need a problem statement and a PDF of the tech sheet or schematic so we can all see it on screen share. If you have a PDF that isn't already in the File library here at Appliantology, send it to us by attaching it to the contact form. 
      Also, follow this Calendar Event so you'll get notified of new posts here. Look for the "Follow" button either at the top of the topic on desktop or below the topic on mobile.

the Dispenser may just be a bimetal latch triggered by a resistor heater.

You may be able to supply 120v (and wait) to check it ...

This is a great way to check wax motors. I carry a test cord in my tool bag for this.

hhmm.. test cord .. OK

but what's with the Red & Black clips ?

is Black hot ? as in AC volts ?

or maybe it's just a 2-wire non-polarized plug ...

It's not a good picture, but there's an AC 120vac plug underneath the cord bundle. The alligator clips clip onto the spades of the wax motor. Wax motor isn't polarity sensitive so it doesn't matter which clip goes on what spade. Clip, plug, play!

Red is Neutral

 

Not sure what your point is. In using this cord with a wax motor, it doesn't matter which clip you put to which spade.

In some applications, it may be good to know that the red clip is on the neutral wire; but for testing a wax motor, machts nicht.

You may want to test a device / or connect the hot lead to a device that should already have (hot) power

and the rest of the machine is still powered ...
