[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.

If you would like a more structured, step-by-step, training experience, enroll today at the Master Samurai Tech Appliance Repair School.

What do you do when even the service manual can't be trusted?

In this video, we discuss how to deal with bad or missing information in all kinds of tech docs -- service manuals, tech sheets, schematics, you name it. Topics covered include:

• Pin numbering discrepancies
• Reconciling pinouts with schematics
• Identifying power supplies
• Recognizing incoherent specs
• What are dummy directions?

..and more!

Your webinar presenter is Sam Brown. I’ve accompanied my dad on service calls since I was old enough to hold the meter for him, and my role in our business has only grown since. As I grew up, I ran daily service calls with him as my fulltime job and did lots of troubleshooting out in the field. Proud to carry on the tradition of mastery in my family, I wear a lot of hats. On top of being the Team Samurai IT guy, I teach, help write coursework, and write blog posts on technical topics. I’m also the Admin at our tech support site, Appliantology.org, and I’m always at work behind the scenes to make sure all our websites are running in tip-top shape. I have also helped the team develop content for the Advanced Washer and Dryer and the Advanced Oven and Range courses.
