The key takeaways are about the parts and functions of a multitester and washing machine as well as safety procedures when working with electrical and electronic devices.

The main parts of a multitester are the pointer or needle, scale, dial/infinity knob, zero ohm adjuster, range selector knob, range, and test probes.

The functions of a washing machine are washing, rinsing and spinning clothes with the help of water and detergent. Its main parts include the top cover, pulsator, drain hose, side cover, tub, water supply hose and drum.

PARTS OF THE ANALOG MULTITESTER

Pointer or Needle – indicates the values read from the scale

Scale – shows the value of what is being measured

Dial/Infinity Knob – points the needle to the 0 at the left side of the scale

Zero Ohm Adjuster – adjusts the needle to the right side of the scale

Range Selector Knob – allows changing the function and scale

Range – values written on multitester

Test Probes – Positive probe (red) and Negative Probe (black) are used to
connect to the circuit or device under test.

Function of Multitester/VOM

VOLTMETER - measures voltage (v)


OHMETER - measures resistance ( )
MILLIAMMETER - measures small amount of current (A)

TYPES OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is defined in the


Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as
a tool used to protect workers from injury or illness
caused by having contact with the dangers
(hazards)theworkplace, whether they are chemical,
biological, radiation, physical, electrical, mechanical and
other.
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICIES AND PROCEDURE

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is a cross-disciplinary area


concerned with protecting the safety, health and welfare of people engaged

in work. The goal is to promote a safe work environment. It may also protect
co-workers, family members, employers, customers, suppliers, nearby
communities, and other members of the public who are impacted by the workplace
environment.
As Consumer Electronic Servicing National Certificate Level II (CES
NC II) student, you should know how to conduct yourself when working in
the classroom/ laboratory room, as well as implement a safe way of
accomplishing every task. Safety practices should be learned early and
always adhered to when working with any electrical and electronic device.
This is for your protection as well as of the people working with you, and
also for the devices that you are using. The basis for this process begins
with Occupational Health and Safety Policies.

PERSONAL SAFETY WHILE WORKING ALONG ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS

Electronics equipment can be dangerous, and you or others can be


injured or even killed if you don’t follow proper safety guidelines when
working or servicing these circuits. The following are some precautionary
measures to take before working with any electrical/ electronic circuits:

Wear shoes with non-conductive rubber soles to help reduce the


chance of being shocked or seriously injured in an electrical accident.
Do not work on components that are plugged into their power source.
Do not remove expansion cards from electronic product when it is
turned on.
Remove jewelries when working inside any electronic related
equipment.
Be sure not to merge electronic components and water.
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT:
PROCEDURE:
1. Identify the defective components.
2. Determine the description of the values.
3.Identify where to get the components.
4. Select the parts as your replacement.
Quality. The ability to provide exact value or specification to replacement part
Tolerance. The ability to provide exact value or acceptable parameters to replacement parts.
Availability. The local access to parts and whether the parts are available.
Price. Refers to the affordability of the replacement parts at a reasonable price.
5. Double check the testing procedure.
6.Consider the original orientation.
7.Check the nearby components.
8.Install correctly the replacement part.
9. Observe safety at all times.

STEPS IN TROUBLESHOOTING:

1. Conduct a quick diagnosis of the trouble.


2. Do not remove the IC
3.Consider voltage measurement on components.
4. If the trouble symptom is caused by aging components, the defective component is usually one of them. However, in
high-power-handling circuits, a defective component may cause other components to malfunction.
5. Be familiar with the usual defects of components.
6. Don’t replace an opened fuse
7. Always suspect a faulty contact.
8. When measuring resistance,make sure that the circuit is OFF.
9. Set the VOM to a high resistance.
10. Use soldering irons with the proper power rating.
11. Use proper tools and soldering aids when troubleshooting PCB.
12.Clean the leads.
13. USE Personal Protective Equipment.

Maintenance of Washing Machine


STEPS :

1. Turn off the washing machine and remove the cord from the source of voltage.
2. Apply lubricant to mechanical parts of the washing machine that requires lubrication through a drop of oil or grease
to assure smooth operation without grinding or squeaks.
3. Replace the bushings or end bells for squeaks with the use of appropriate tools if squeaks cannot be corrected by
applying lubricants.
4. Apply or spray anti-rust lubricants to all mechanical parts of the washing machine to drive out moisture, protect
corrosion, loosen rusted metal parts and even frees sticky mechanism.
5. Clean and check cooling louvers for any obstructions to avoid cutting off the air flow.
6. Clean or wipe dust and foreign particles at the PC Board and metal parts of the motor.
7. Replace worn or frayed AC cord and electrical wires.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
STEPS :

1. Use mild soap and damp cloth or rug when cleaning plastic front panel
and cover. They are susceptible to immediate and long term damage from
solvents.
662. Apply denatured alcohol as the safest solvent to use for plastic front
panel and cover with heavy stain. It should be used only as a last resort
and apply to areas with heavy stain.
Procedure in Repairing a Washing Machine
1. Once the specific electrical/mechanical problem is located:
consider the techniques for the proper removal of the defective
component or parts;
anticipate what to do if the replacement part does not correct
the problem;
and check the installation of the replacement or original part
for any improper mounting in the mechanical assembly or
circuit board.
2. Examine carefully the mounting of the replacement of original parts of the system.
3. Check the placement of the wires or leads of the replacement component
4. Consider significant factors used in the original installation such as insulating washer, silicon grease and locating mark
for pin connections.
5. Observe proper placement of the component leads for electrical parts.
6. Perform the techniques for the proper soldering of electrical parts. Be careful not to damage adjacent components.
7. Be careful not to lift the copper conductive path from circuit board base material.
8. Avoid any solder bridges between board paths.
9. Do not destroy the component being removed in case it is still functional and be careful not to damage the component
being installed.
10. Verify all connections and harnesses. 11. Be sure that all components are pre-positioned in a manner that will avoid
thepossibility of having adjacent components short circuited. 12. Be sure to check or inspect all insulators and barriers
between sections after working on any model/brand of washing machine. 13. Check for frayed or broken insulation on all
wiring including the AC line cord.
14. Be sure to replace fuses, resistors and capacitors with special designation such as flame proof to components equal
to the original value for both safety and liability purposes.
15. Once the repair is completed, perform an AC leakage test on all exposed metal parts of a washing machine to
eliminate the possiblity of electric shock.
16. Perform complete retesting of the washing machine to ensure the correctness of the actual repair.
17. Connect the washing machine into the 60Hz power to allow the time period required to let the new parts settle in and
operate as they are designed to work with each other
18. Recheck or inspect if the repair was done correctly and the unit functions properly to ensure successful completion
of the repair.

19. Clean the washing machine before returning it to the customer.


20. Be sure that the drum, pulsator, side cover tub and top cover of the washing machine are properly cleaned.
21. Be sure to properly clean the control panel or switch box to ensure safe
