- In this video, I take a multimeter and show you how to use various functions on the multimeter on how to test a few different things, showing continuity, resistance, voltage, and amperage.
Multimeters used in this video:
Klein CL120: amzn.to/3I5FTwf
AstroAI budget multimeter: amzn.to/3Mm2Hud
Tools I use in all videos can be found at my Amazon Idea Page: www.amazon.com/shop/bensappli...

The message here from Ben is: Slow down! Take the time to troubleshoot the issue so you fix it just once! And ya wont be throwing the parts cannon at the problem. Great vid!
had a dryer that we thought was bad, got a new one and it didnt work. Had 240V at the outlet but still didnt work. Called the contractor back out, didn't work, they got us another new one, still didnt work. At that point we knew it was not the dryer nor the old one.
COme to find out the outlet was reading 240V but it would not pass current. That wire was bad, so we had to replace that 240V line from the outlet back to the breaker, THEN the new one started to work AND the old one started to work again.
SO reading 240V at 16:32 at the video means nothing
Thank you for taking the time going over what might be obvious to some people but impossible to find for beginners!! ❤
I’ve watched this 3/4 times yet I know how to use the fluke and gemteck I have
AllWAYS learning as much as possible
Retired diesel mechanic, 58 years of it and bad back but still working and learning appliances repair now
Love your clear, conscise and FUNNY videos!
🤣
Remind your wife of that one... pure gold.
I just love the useful information you pass on to us 😍❤️
I'm an HVAC tech trying to figure out my washer issue but you got a subscriber based on that wife joke alone. My fiance was listening as I was and we both looked at each other and giggled.😂
another great video losts of good information for beginners !
Good video, thank you. And yes, I jumped. Then I laughed.
Great video. Learnt alot of it.
Thanks for those tips
Wow that was a great video.
Very interesting, thank you
Thank you
Great info. Maybe you can take it a step further and show us how where to find the correct numbers, so when we test a sensor we know what “normal/working” looks like?
That will vary between every single sensor by model which is why. I have the videos that show you generally how to repair and test things for the proper homewriting.This was just meant to be a guide in general, but maybe at some point. I can do another follow up video. That would just have me testing all kinds of different things for ohm ratings.
There’s how many of the check charts ?
Hundreds ???
Ben what's upan ? It was nice meeting you in ATL. Thanks for what you do 🤗
you are the first person i've ever seen use a dental pick to open a package... i.. am not alone...
It's the only thing I had near my desk so I just used it.
@@bensappliancesandjunk that's how it starts... then you keep opening packages and always reaching for it. because it is always there, handy.
Thanks
BEN THAT WAS FUNNY😂😂😂😂😂 I CAUGHT YOUR QUIP ABOUT WIFE STATEMENT FITTING IT IN THE REAR……
Sometimes the funniest comments are the least expected. “Sometimes I like to remind my wife about that too”.
should the meter be always set on the continuity dial?
please answer
Boa noite
Did you really make the wife joke?
Broooo CTFU at it tooo hahahaha lol!!!!
What do I turn the multi meter dial to?
Ben I need replacement parts for my 10 yr old Wolf stove. I know wolf won’t sell to any one can you advise….I my Ir Broiler won’t work…
I'd check for visual matches to broiler. Many times the botique companies are contracting the same places Whirlpool and Frigidaire do. I know for example, Viking gas ignitors that are $250 are basically an IG9998 which retails thru us for $30.
I plan to harvest my old compressor from the refrigerator. Has anyone tried to shut close the lines with the help of hand held hydraulic crimp tool before cutting the lines. Is it going to work? I don't have a proper evac system.
Boa noite, sou do Brasil necessito do manual do refrigerador ksr84arana da kitchenaid sou o Francisco
I can’t remove the brake assembly on an old Maytag washer and I either need the old tool or a miracle to get it off ! Anyone have any suggestions?
There's a brake tool for that
Nooooo, don’t ruin good parts to demonstrate a bad circuit. Electrical troubleshooting requires way more info than you could put in one video. Just finding the correct value resistance for a component could fill an entire video. However, great demonstration of why shotgunning parts is a waste of time and cash. Maybe show electrical troubleshooting and repair on a broken unit from start to finish. It would probably require a lot of editing to compress the video time, but better demonstrate your methods and train of thought.
Ben . I need your help . I don’t have that antique Maytag brake removing tool . Can you sale me one ? I know their rare and I will pay whatever .
I dont own any
It is extremely hard to read the multimeter close up box in your video. Any chance you can adjust the contrast or lighting in the future? I will give you a tu for the side comment about the back end. Lol.
I may do another video in future. I tried to enhance it ad much as possible but I didn't realize how bad the camera angle was honestly til I was done
I have to admit....when you were explaining not to touch the posts with your fingers when testing for voltage and then sparks flew when you acted like you did.......I jumped a bit.
I saw someone do this with a capacitor in a video and knew it had to try it
16:32
Voltage means NOTHING ....
You can have voltage but no current flow. Current flow is what matters.
If you're not testing you're guessing. Don't be a PCM. (Parts Changing Monkey)
16:16 I jumped from my seat!! Please don't do this again!
Your tie is all jacked up man. Not your style 😊
Yeah didn't notice til editing :-(
Boring Zzzzzz
Wow 👌 great positioning of your religious propaganda. I'll give ya another chance but if I see any more religious indoctrination crap I'm out. 😁
What did I say during the video of any religious nature?
Be who you are no matter what others say or do
