[Free] Troubleshooting Old-Skool Dryer Auto Heat Circuits

[Son of Samurai]

We hope you enjoy this free workshop and that it helps make you a better appliance tech. This workshop will be available to the public for free through this month. After that, we'll remove this one and post a new free featured workshop selected from our vast repository of appliance repair training workshop videos.

If you're currently a professional appliance repair tech, these workshop videos will improve your understanding of electric circuits and appliance technology and up your troubleshooting game. If you're a DIYer or considering getting into the appliance repair trade (great choice!), these workshops will kick your training into high gear.

 Back in the olden days, they had to make some surprisingly complicated circuits to build dryers with automatic drying cycles. While we may not see as many of these computer board-less dryers anymore, we can learn a lot by analyzing the way these circuits work. They teach us all kinds of troubleshooting and electrical principles that are valuable for working on any machine.

That's why we looked at a couple of these old-skool dryers in this latest workshop, covering topics like:

• How cycling bimetals affect their circuits
• Bias heaters and biased bimetals
• Series and parallel circuits
• Dropping resistors
• Running 120 loads on 240 power

...and more!
