Okay, good! Let me know if you need any other help.

Hi Francisco,

Sure – I just reset the Final Exam for you. Note that it’s always best to use the Quiz & Exam Reset Request Form (in the “Campus Support” menu) when needed. You’ll get the most prompt response.

Hi John,

Thanks for checking about this! I assume you mean using these questions to assist your customers in giving you helpful information, or helping them know what things to check on their end.

You can definitely adapt the questions for that type of use on your website.

Please give us attribution with a link back to our home page. Something like “Information adapted from the Master Samurai Tech Academy training courses. https://mastersamuraitech.com/” in small print at the bottom of the page.

Hi Dmodar, and thank you for enrolling!

We suggest that people start with the Core course, but it is not required. You are welcome to just take the Advanced Oven & Range course if that is what you want to do.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Brian,
You would be correct if this were a 120v circuit! However, it is a 240v (L1-L2) circuit.

[Susan Brown]

That’s the question I’ve helped you with before. Please check your email – I just sent a message.

[Susan Brown]

Hi David – I’ll grade your Midterm this afternoon and take these remarks into consideration. I’ll email you feedback once I’ve graded it!

Are you able to order it from Amazon? That’s where we send people when they want the hard copy.

FYI – we are going to be phasing out using the book in the course and replace the reading assignments with our own material. It’s not a bad book in general, as a reference, but there are a few things he teaches that aren’t great, especially with electricity/circuits. However, it will take us a little time to implement.

If you mainly want to use Appliantology to look things up while you are still going through the course, I extended your Student Membership for a little longer. I know you probably aren’t able to use the site to get manuals, since you are not in the US.

Hi Denis,
The free pdf version is here: https://my.mastersamuraitech.com/appliance-repair-course-support/student-forums/topic/link-for-the-pdf-textbook/

As for Appliantology, once you earn Certification in the Core course, you’ll qualify for the free Alumnus membership. But if you would like to be a full member in the meantime, you can pay for a year and get the $100 student discount, so it would be $197 US. Let me know if you want to do that and I’ll send an invoice.

Hi Vu,

If you look at the first video in the unit, there are two operating voltages that are represented in the various examples that we show: 120vac and 12vdc.

Where you see 5vdc being used, it is acting as data: is the door locked or unlocked?

[Susan Brown]

Hi Chris,

When you say “multiple resistors” are you talking about loads in series, in parallel, or both?

For loads in series, rewatch the second video in Unit 4, where I go over doing calculations of current, voltage, and power in series circuits.

Parallel circuits are different – each branch is basically an independent circuit with full access to L1 and N (or L2). This is covered in Unit 5.

Also, see this topic in for a summary of voltage and voltage drop.
https://my.mastersamuraitech.com/appliance-repair-course-support/student-forums/topic/voltage-and-voltage-drop-summary/

After reviewing those items, let me know particular quiz questions that you are still struggling with – it will be easier for me to help you that way.

Hi Vu,
On the pinout for the board (if included)
Happy New Year!

I use Safari and just tried the link and it loads fine. I wonder if you have any settings that might be preventing you from opening it. I did a quick internet search and got the following info. If any of these seem to work, let me know. (Or if nothing works, also let me know!)

Try disabling Lockdown Mode in Safari, as it can prevent certain websites from opening. Go to Safari settings, find Lockdown Mode, and toggle it off for the Proton Drive link to work.
proton.me

Troubleshooting Safari Issues with Proton Drive Links
If Safari is not opening Proton Drive links, there are a few common issues and solutions to consider.

Enhanced Security Mode
Issue: Safari’s Enhanced Security Mode may block certain functionalities.
Solution: Disable Enhanced Security Mode for the Proton Drive URL. Go to Safari settings, find the Lockdown Mode section, and toggle it off for pass.proton.me.

Browser Settings
Issue: Certain browser settings may prevent links from opening.
Solution: Check your privacy settings. Ensure that JavaScript is enabled, as Proton Drive may require it to function properly.

Clear Cache and Cookies
Issue: Corrupted cache or cookies can cause loading issues.
Solution: Clear your browser’s cache and cookies. Go to Safari settings, select “Clear History,” and choose the appropriate time range.

Update Safari
Issue: An outdated version of Safari may not support all features.
Solution: Ensure that Safari is updated to the latest version. Check for updates in the App Store.

Restart Safari
Issue: Temporary glitches can affect performance.
Solution: Close and reopen Safari. If the problem persists, try restarting your device.

Hi Vu – I just sent you an email, so please look for that.

[Susan Brown]

Hi Scott – that is correct! I will need to hide your answer, FYI, so we don’t just give it away to other student 🙂
