Y’all gather ‘round and ol’ Samurai’s gonna tell you about the best kept secret at Appliantology. You know the Samurai does periodic webinars on a wide range of appliance repair topics. At the webinars, we talk about all kinda cool techie topics like basic electric circuits, troubleshooting strategies and tactics, reading schematics, computer control and digital communications in appliances, electric motor operation, gas flame sensing and reignition technologies, and more. Over 30 hours (and growing) of original, high-quality technical training! Sometimes we cover basics, but many of the topics are more advanced, going beyond what we teach in our online training courses at the Master Samurai Tech Academy. I know it’s not always possible to make it to the live webinars due to scheduling conflicts, beer drinking, basketball game, whatever. Believe me, I get it. You may be wondering, “Can I watch recordings of past webinars? Is there a way to find out what the past webinar topics were? So what’s a brutha to do?” The Samurai’s gotcha covered! Lemme tell you about Appliantology’s best kept secret: The Webinar Recordings Index Page. On this page, you’ll find a listing of all past webinar recordings listed by topic and linked to the video recording of the webinar. So it’s easy to scan down the list to find a topic you’re interested in, grab a bag of popcorn, your flavorite adult beverage and go on a learning safari with the Samurai. Just so you know--we don’t record all the webinars and, sometimes, the technology gods just don’t play nice. But we post as many as we can, and the page is updated as new recordings become available so be sure to check back often. So why do I call the Webinar Recordings Index page “Appliantology’s best kept secret?” Because not many Professional Appliantologists seem to be aware of it. This is my fault-- I need to do a better job of getting the word out and reminding you guys about it. Hence this blog post! Master Samurai Tech Academy students and Mr. Appliance® Academy students also have access to the webinar recordings at the links below: - Master Samurai Tech Academy students: https://mastersamuraitech.com/webinar-recordings/ - Mr. Appliance® Academy students enrolled in Bundle 1: http://mrappliance.mastersamuraitech.com/appliance-repair-course-support/student-forums/forum/webinar-recordings/

Many of you know that I hold regular, live webinars, called Office Hours, with Master Samurai Tech Academy students. I would periodically open them up for Professional Appliantologists when I had a special topic to present. Examples of this are Appliance Temperature Sensors and Technology, Semiconductors and PN Junctions, Basic Refrigerator Troubleshooting, and Troubleshooting with Tech Sheets. For an index of past webinar recordings, see this topic in the Professional Appliantologists forum: Now we’re cranking it up a notch by making the Office Hours webinars a permanent, regular benefit for Professional Appliantologist members! In addition to using these webinars for training, we’ll use them for open Q&A where members and students bring questions pertaining to appliance troubleshooting strategies and technology as well as questions about using Appliantology and the Master Samurai Tech Academy. It’s also a great time to offer suggestions for improving both Appliantology and the courses at the Master Samurai Tech Academy. We’re always interested in learning how we can best meet YOUR needs in our ever-changing industry. The webinars are held on Monday evenings at 7PM Eastern Time (adjust your time zone accordingly). For details on the upcoming web meeting, check the site Calendar: https://appliantology.org/calendar/ Here are a couple tips to ensure that the webinars are a smooth, cool experience for you: 1. Arrive early to make sure your connection is working! Also, if you show up late for the webinar, you'll be lost. 2. Watch this ultra-short video on how to use your Join.me control console while you're in the web meeting because you're gonna wanna do cool stuff like: - correctly connect your audio (without producing the dreaded echo!) so you and everyone else can hear what the Samurai is explaining - mute and unmute yourself
