INFORMATION SHEET 1.1 AC-DC Power Supply A power supply is the heart of all electronics equipment. It converts AC input power line to DC output voltage. It is the one that supplies the desired voltage or current in a circuit. Without it, all of the electronic equipment will not function properly or will be a dead set.

AC-DC Power Supply

TYPES OF AC-DC POWER SUPPLY A basic power supply consists of three basic stages: the power transformer stage, rectifier stage, and filter stage. An additional stage is sometimes added if there is a need for regulation. This stage is called regulator.

3. Full-Wave Bridge Type Rectifier Circuit

Schematic Diagram of A Full-Wave Power Supply The previous circuit illustration uses four rectifier diodes D1 D2 D3 D4 and a load resistor (RL). Bridge circuit makes it possible to remove the centertapped transformer. Among the types of power supply this circuit can deliver a higher current range to the load because all of cycles are consumed by the four diodes. The operation of this rectifier circuit is different from the half-wave and full-wave center tapped. The conduction of AC voltage starts from Line-A going to the Line-B. First Conduction The negative half-cycle will be going to conduct to the cathode of diode D1, thru the RL and going to conduct to the cathode of diode D4 then Line-B. In this case D1 and D4 are conducting.

Second Conduction The positive half-cycle will be going to conduct to the anode of diode D2, thru the RL and going to conduct to the anode of diode D3 then Line-B. In this case D2 and D3 are conducting.

Basic Methods of Filtering 1. Simple Capacitor in Parallel You can parallel as many electrolytic capacitors as you want. This will increase the amount of capacitance causing good filtering effects to DC output. This is used for high current applications. The only disadvantage is that it will occupy a bigger space.

Placing additional capacitor in the output. Filter Circuit

2. Filter with RC Circuit This circuit is actually a resistor in series with the positive line together with 2 bypass capacitor C1 & C2. It is good in lowering the DC voltage output.

3. Filter with Inductor This circuit has a good filtering effect to the pulsating DC output of the rectifier. It uses minimal value of capacitance and it is good in low current and high current application. The only disadvantage is that the inductor in series with the positive line takes up big space in mounting it in the PC.

INFORMATION SHEET 2.1 Designing and Etching

PCB of AC-DC Power Supply

A printed circuit board (PCB) has components inserted into the hole and soldered to form its circuit connection. Its main purpose is to reduce the space and to troubleshoot easily when problem arises. The printed circuit board (PCB) has conductors that are thin strip of copper, usually bonded to a baseboard called substrate. There are two very common substrate materials used in printed circuit, the phenolic and epoxy plastic.

Copper

Substrate

on

Printed Circuit Board

Printed Circuit Board Etching is where the excess copper is removed to leave the individual tracks or traces as they are sometimes called. Buckets, bubble tanks, and spray machines are tools to do different ways of etching but most firms currently use high pressure conveyors spray equipment. Spray etching is fast Ammoniacal etching solutions when sprayed can etch 55 microns of copper a minute. Less than 40 seconds to etch a standard 1 oz, 35 micron circuit board.

Printed Circuit Board Etching Many different chemical solutions can be used to etch circuit boards ranging from slow controlled speed etches used for surface preparation to the faster etches used for etching the tracks. Some are best used in horizontal spray process equipment while others are best used in tanks. Enchants for PTH work have to be selective and be non aggressive to tin / tin lead plating, which is used as the etch resists. Copper etching is normally exothermic where high

18

speed etching is carried out solution cooling is normally required. This is normally done by placing titanium water cooling coils into the enchant. Almost all etching solutions liberate toxic corrosive fumes. Extraction is highly recommended. All enchants are corrosive and toxic mainly due to the high metal content. P.P.E. Personal Protection Equipment must always be used. Spent solutions should always be disposed properly and not to be spilled down local drains where they can pollute local sewage works and rivers. Manufacturing of Printed Circuits in the Copper Clad Board In PCB designing, we should not focus only on the size of the pathways linking to the other component, but also on the types, kinds, and characteristics of component. Here are the other design factors needed: 1. PCB size and shape. The PCB must be big enough for the entire component to be mounted where it is anticipated. 2. Position of the Terminal. Input, output and supply voltage if possible should be placed near the border for easier way during troubleshooting or minor repair. 3. High Temperature Dissipation. Too much heat is the number one problem of all components. Bigger space is needed so that heat sink can be provided to the component. This will protect the component from burning up. 4. Accessibility of Components. This component that is adjustable or variable (example: potentiometer, trimmer resistor or capacitor) should be placed near the border to make the troubleshooting or minor repair easier. 5. Space for Bolt and Nut. The designer should place an allowance for mounting the PCB with bolt and nut in securing the entire board to the chassis. 6. Different Types of Circuit Should be Grouped according to its Application. This will enhance the circuit operation and will prevent it from distortion generated by other circuit. This is the reason why the circuit of the power supply is far from the audio circuit.

OPERATION SHEET 2.1 Procedure and Techniques In Pre-Testing An ElectronicallyControlled Electric Fan (ECEF) PROCEDURE IN PERFORMING PRE-TESTING OF AN ELECTRIC FAN 1. Determine what the problem really is. a. Ask questions to the owner/operator of the electric fan to identify the problem to you. b. Ask for the detail about the problem and how long it has been happening. 2. Be sure that you understand how the electric fan is going to be operated. a. If you have worked on it before, check it out to see if it still operates in the same way. b. Try to determine the last time it has been modified/repaired prior to you. c. Review the operating manual if you are not familiar with the model of the electric fan. d. Review the service manual for the unit prior to any testing. 3. Perform closer inspection into the suspected defective parts or components. a. Prepare the tools needed and remove the cover ready for inspection. b. Apply careful physical inspection of the suspected parts/components. c. Look for burned and broken components. d. Inspect for loose connections or broken wires. e. Modify

15

TECHNIQUES IN PERFORMING PRE-TESTING OF AN ELECTRIC FAN 1. Conduct a prompt diagnosis of the trouble symptom and repair the defective set in the shortest possible time. Do not troubleshoot an electric fan unless you have determined what the fault is. Locate the fault from the mechanical section or electrical circuit section. 2. Wear cotton gloves while troubleshooting to avoid the electrical shock. Also note that, especially in tropical countries, sweat on hands may cause accident. 3. When troubleshooting in the electrical circuit section, never remove a component for testing. Before doing this, first measure the voltage. If the reading is abnormal, analyze the circuit and check which component may be causing the trouble and should be tested. 4. Discharge large capacitors by connecting a jumper wire across their two conducting terminals. 5. If the trouble symptom is caused by aging components, the defective component is usually one of them. But in some cases, especially in highpower-handling circuits, a defective component may cause other components to malfunction. 6. Know the usual defects of components. For example, capacitors usually become leaky, shorted or open. Resistor increase their resistance when they become defective. Semi-conductors such as transistors usually become open or shorted. 7. When troubleshooting integrated circuits (ICs) in the electrical circuit section of an electric fan, do not remove the IC from the PCB just simply suspecting that it is defective. To help you diagnose the function of the IC, secure a circuit diagram from the manufacturer. It will be even better if you have available diagram showing the internal connection of the IC. 8. Always be careful about the polarity of the components when replacing them. Electrolytic capacitors used in transistors or integrated circuits have only low voltages. 9. Do not remove components from the PCB. Every component has a specific function in the circuit. Always analyze the specific function of every component in the circuit. 10. Don’t replace an opened fuse or burned resistor unless, you have corrected the trouble or have detected. 11. Always suspect a faulty contact on mechanical switch circuit rather than defective electronic components. 12. When replacing the resistor (SCR/TRIAC), the replacement should have the same current rating. 13. Use needle-pointed probes for better contact and to avoid short circuiting nearby components. 14. When measuring resistance in the circuit, make sure that the power is not being supplied on the circuit, and that stored charges in capacitors are properly discharged. Failure to do so can damage the volt-ohmmilliameter (VOM) and the circuit due to the low resistance of the ohmmeter.

16

15. The functions and the characteristics of the VOM should be wisely used. 16. While using a VOM for in-circuit resistance measurement, always exchange the setting of positive and negative probes. Take the higher meter reading with the approximate resistance. 17. Use soldering irons with the proper power rating to prevent the components and the circuit board from being overheated and damaged. The soldering iron tips should be cleaned and preferably slim. Soldering guns are not recommended for beginners, since it is difficult to keep their temperature constant. 18. Use proper tools and soldering aids when troubleshooting printed circuit boards. Ground the soldering iron to avoid damaging ICs and transistors. 19. Dry solder joints are hard to detect. However, when they are found or suspected, remove the components from the PCB; then file or clean the leads and solder the joints back. Reheating dry joints with a new soldering lead is another remedy. When re-soldering, make sure you do not overheat the components. Overheating the PCB may cause the copper layer on it to warp and peel off. 20. Select a soldering iron with the rating appropriate for the particular application.

A. HOW IS ESD GENERATED Static charge is a form of electricity at rest. It can be generated by simple friction that is, rubbing two objects together. A simple method of generating a static charge is to rub a plastic ballpen case on a nylon cloth. Once generated, the static electricity will remain on the ballpen for as long as it is not placed on any other charged materials. If ever the ballpen comes in contact with another object, the static electricity can move to or from the ballpen to equalize the charge between the two objects. The transfer of static electricity from any of the two objects is called electro-static discharge. One inexhaustible source of electrons that can supply or can accept them without any effect is the earth. Whatever charged object brought into it is immediately discharged. This simple illustration does not necessarily mean that static electricity can be generated intentionally. The truth is that static electricity can be generated in a multitude of possible ways. Rubbing of hands or arms on a table can result in the generation of up to about 3000 volts of static electricity. Sliding of the IC pins in a plastic box can result in the generation of up to 12000 volts of static electricity. A person walking across a vinyl floor can generate about 13000 volts of static electricity. The amount of static electricity varies within the environment and it depends primarily on the prevailing relative humidity. The moisture in the air offers a readily present conductive path to ground from static electricity and hence avoiding any static build-up. B. ESD wrist straps ESD wrist straps are also called conductive wrist straps or bands. They are usually made of elastic cloth but contain conductive strands that touch your skin and so bleed off any static electricity on your body. Some straps are made of conductive rubber. The wire attached to the strap contains a large value resistor usually one mega ohm (1,000,000 ohms) allows any charge on your body to be slowly transferred to an electric fan ground point. This build in resistor also limits the amount of current to a safe level in case the other end of the wire touches a power supply voltage. Some ESD kits also contain a conductive pad on which you can place components, like circuit boards and ICs, when they’re out of the switch box of an electric fan. Often there’s an additional clip on the wire leading from the wrist strap that you can attach to this conductive pad, so that any charge on the pad will also flow to the electric fan ground point. C. ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PROTECTION PROCEDURE 1. Purchase an antistatic kit from a computer or electronics supply store. Kits vary, but the main component is an ESD wrist strap with a wire several feet long having an alligator clip at the other end.

29

2. So to start troubleshooting an electric fan, get an ESD wrist strap and wear it wherever you go under the covers or handle ICs and circuit boards. 3. Put the adjustable strap around your wrist (usually the left wrist if you’re right handed). Wearing an ESD wrist strap connected to frame or chassis ground drains static charges off your body, preventing damaging ESD. 4. Attach the clip at the end of the wire to an electrical ground connection or metal framework of the electric fan. 5. If you work on an electric fan without a conductive wrist strap, touch an electrical appliance such as a lamp or the screw in a wall outlet cover plate before touching the PCB circuit. An electrostatic discharge of just a few hundred volts is too small to feel in most cases, but can be usually deadly to ESD sensitive devices. 6. When you are working with a switch box of an electric fan, touch a ground point, like the metal extension pole before touching anything else. This should ground out any static charge your body. Also avoid wearing clothes that easily produce a static charge, such as, knits and wools and limit your movements as much as possible, especially on carpets while working on electronic circuits of an electric fan.

II. Direction: Write TRUE if the statement is correct or FALSE if it is wrong. Write your answer in another sheet of paper. 1. Static charge is a form of electricity at rest. 2. ESD wrist straps are also called conductive wrist straps or bands. 3. When working with the electronic system control of an electric fan, it is a safety practice to touch a round point like the metal extension pole before touching anything else. 4. An electrostatic discharge of just a few hundred volts is too small to fill in but can be usually deadly to ESD sensitive devices. 5. An ESD wrist strap is connected to the frame or chassis ground which drains static charges off your body preventing damaging ESD-sensitive devices.

JOB SHEET 3.1 COMPONENT REPLACEMENT 1. Determine the description of the values and ratings of the individual defective parts from the manufacturer’s service manual. 2. Identify the sources of the replacement components/parts.  Original replacement components from the original factory sources.  Universal replacement components from independent factory sources. (Note: Always consider the physical size of the replacement part). 3. Consider some factors in the selection of specific part.  Quality . Is the ability to provide exact value or specification to replacement part  Tolerance. Is the ability to provide exact value or acceptable parameters to replacement parts.  Availability. Is the local access to parts and whether the parts are available .  Price. It refers to the affordability of the replacement parts at a reasonable price. 4. Disconnect or remove properly the electrical/mechanical parts of an electric fan 5. Install correctly the replacement parts/components in the existing electric fan MAINTENANCE OF AN ELECTRIC FAN 1. Turn off the electric fan and remove the cord from the source of voltage. 2. Apply lubricant to the mechanical parts of the electric fan that requires lubrication for a smooth operation without grinding or squeaking. 3. Replace the bushings or end bells that squeak with the use of appropriate tools if squeaking cannot be corrected by applying lubricants. 4. Apply or spray anti-rust lubricants to all mechanical parts of the electric fan to drive out moisture, to protect corrosion, to loosen rusted metal parts and to even free if from sticky elements. 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. SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING 1. Use a mild soap with a damp cloth or rug when cleaning plastic front panel and cover. They are susceptible to immediate and long term damage from solvents. 2. 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 applied to areas with heavy stain.

33

PROCEDURE IN REPAIRING AN ELECTRIC FAN 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.  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.  Check the placement of the wires or leads of the replacement component.  Consider significant factors used in the original installation such as insulating washer, silicon grease and locating mark for pin connections.  Observe proper placement of the component leads for electrical parts. 3. Perform the techniques for the proper soldering of the electrical parts.  Be careful not to damage adjacent components  Be careful not to lift the copper conductive path from circuit board base material.  Avoid any solder bridges between board path.  Do not destroy the component being removed if it is still functional and be careful not to damage the component being installed. 4. Verify all connections and harness.  Be sure that all components are pre-positioned in a manner that will avoid the possibility of adjacent component short circuit conditions.  Be sure to check or inspect all insulators and barriers between sections after working on any model/brand of electric fan.  Check for frayed or broken insulation in all wiring including the AC line cord.  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. 5. Once the repair is completed, perform an AC leakage test on all exposed metal parts of an electric fan to eliminate the possibility of electric shock.  Perform complete retesting of the electric fan to ensure the correctness of the actual repair.  Connect the electric fan 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.  Recheck or inspect if the repair was done correctly and the unit functions properly to ensure successful completion of the repair. 6. Clean the electric fan before returning it to the customer.  Be sure that the blade, front and rear guards of the electric fan are properly cleaned.  Be sure that proper cleaning is given to the control panel or switch box of the electric fan.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1 Operation of Microwave Oven Microwave oven Is a kitchen appliance that can come in many different sizes and styles employing microwave radiation primarily to cook or to heat food. This is made possible by using microwaves emitted from a magnetron to excite water (primarily) and other polarized molecules within the food to be heated.

Microwave Oven

How the microwave operates? Microwave ovens are generally used for time efficiency in both industrial applications such as restaurants and at home, rather than for cooking quality, although some modern recipes using microwave ovens rival recipes using traditional ovens and stoves. They have a central heated anode which is the source of electrons. These are several identical tuned cavities a very strong magnet, and a small antenna to extract the energy. They are usually made of metal but operate on the same principles that glass thermionic valves do.

6

Major Parts and its Functions

Magnetron The magnetron is a device for producing microwave radiation from electricity. A variation on this device, called the cavity magnetron is usually used as the microwave energy source in your microwave oven. It can also be used as the microwave source in a pulsed radar.

High voltage transformer It is the "muscle" of the microwave oven. With an input of 120 VAC (or 240 VAC in many commercial models) applied to the primary winding, the high-voltage transformer (also referred to as power or plate transformer) steps up that primary voltage to a very high voltage. This high voltage is then boosted even higher by the voltage-doubling action of the capacitor and diode.

Varistor It is a type of resistor with a significantly non-ohmic current-voltage characteristic. The name is a portmanteau of variable resistor which is misleading since it is not continuously user-variable like a potentiometer or rheostat, and is not a resistor but in fact a capacitor. Varistor is often used to protect circuits against excessive voltage by arching.

Fuse It is a wire, bar, or strip of fusible metal inserted for safety in an electric circuit. When the current increases beyond a certain safe strength, the metal melts, interrupting the circuit and thereby preventing possibility of damage.

7

High voltage diode It is a high voltage diode has a lamellar structured body of semiconductor material. The lamellar structure is produced by the thermal gradient zone melting process method of migrating metal "wires" through the body to form a plurality of spaced regions of conductivity opposite to that of the body.

Latch switch It is a switch having a bimetal latch for locking a resilient contact in a closed circuit position and a heating coil for activation of the latch to release the contact.

Oven lamp It is a lamp which indicates that the unit has a power.

OPERATION SHEET 2.1 PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS IN HANDLING A MICROWAVE OVEN Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven has high voltage and high-current characteristics. Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair. Precautions to be observed in handling a microwave oven: 1. Serviceman must remove his watches whenever working close to or replacing the magnetron. 2. Do not operate on a two-wire extension cord. The microwave is designed to be used in a completely earthed condition. It is imperative, therefore, to make sure it is properly earthed before beginning the repair work. 3. If the door locks, or if the door switch or the door seal malfunctions, be sure not to operate the oven until total repair is done. 4. Avoid inserting nails, wires, etc. through any holes in the unit during operation because such worsen the problem. 5. Make sure that all electrical connections are tight before inserting the plug into the wall outlet and check energy leakage of the microwave. Warnings to pay attention to when dealing with the microwave oven: 1. Never operate the oven until the following are confirmed: The door is tightly closed. There is no broken hinge or door arm. The door seal is not damaged. The door is not bent or warped. There is no other visible damage. 2. Warning about the electric charge in the high voltage capacitor for about 30 seconds after the oven is turned-off, an electric charge remains in the high voltage capacitor. When replacing or checking parts, remove the power plug from the outlet and the short terminal of the high voltage capacitor terminal of lead wire from diode to chassis ground with an insulated handle screwdriver to discharge. 3.Never touch any circuit wiring with your hand nor with an insulated tool during operation.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1 Blender What is a blender? A blender is…    

a motorized small appliance that blends, chops, and grates food. a handy electrical gadget that makes chopping and mixing food easier. a liquidizer or kitchen appliance used to mix ingredients or make puree. a stationary, upright electrical device which is distinguished from a hand-powered or electric mixer that may be used for similar purposes.

How a blender operates? A blade inside a jar is connected to a motor shaft inside the unit. The blade speed is controlled by varying electric current to the motor using one or more switches. The motor is operated by supplying electric current to the motor. Applications and uses of a blender Blenders are used both at home and commercial kitchens for various purposes: 

to crush ice in drinks;



to make smooth purées of semi-solid ingredients, such as cooked vegetables and meat;



to reduce small solids such as spices and seeds to powder or nut butters;



to blend mixtures of powders, granules, and/or liquids thoroughly; and



to help dissolve solid into liquid.

Parts and Functions of a Blender 

Blending container (jar) is made of glass, plastic, or stainless steel, and often has graduated markings for approximate measuring purposes.



At the top of the container is a lid to prevent ingredients from escaping during operation.



At the bottom is a blade assembly, sometimes removable for cleaning purposes. In cases where the blades are removable, the container should have an o-ring between the body of the container and the base to seal the container and prevent the contents from leaking.



The container rests upon a base that contains a motor for turning the blade assembly and has controls on its surface. Most modern blenders offer a number of possible speeds.



Selector switch is used to control the speed of the motor. It comes in different speed.



The power train of a blender (motor). A fan-cooled electric motor is secured into the housing by way of vibration dampeners and a small output shaft penetrates the upper housing and meshes with the blade assembly.

OPERATION SHEET 2.1 Pre-Testing Procedure of Blender Table for pre-testing a blender

Proper Handling of a Blender How to use a blender? Before using any other accessory, make sure that the power unit is turned off and placed on a suitable work surface. Put the protective cover over the drive that you will not be using. 1. Before using the blender for the first time, wash the blender bowl, and cover funnel and blade assembly and gasket in warm soapy water. After washing, rinse well and dry before using. Your blender is now ready for use. 2. To assemble the blender, press the gasket into the recess in the blade assembly base. 3. Then, insert the blade assembly into the blender bowl from below. Using the lid as a wrench, tighten the blade assembly into place. The blade assembly must be tightened firmly to the bowl/jar to prevent leakage. 4. Place the blender on the high-speed (upper) drive and turn to the left (counter-clockwise) to lock the blender in place.

OPERATION SHEET 2.2 Troubleshooting Procedure of a Blender PROCEDURE: 1. Prepare all the tools and materials needed. 2. Unplug the blender and remove the jar. Undo the screw securing the base plate. Separate the base plate and attached motor collar from the base housing. 3. Remove the switch housing; remove the decorative facing to get at the top screws. Remove the lower screws from inside the blender base. 4. Hold the fan to keep the motor shaft from turning as you unscrew the drive stud. Remove the shield and any washers. Unscrew the fan nut to remove the fan. 5. Disengage the strain-relief fitting from the housing. Remove the wire connector joining the power cord and the lead to the brush housing. Trouble shooting



6. Label and disconnect the lead wires from the switch block. Remove the motor mounting bolts and lift out the motor if necessary. 7. To free brushes, remove the leads attached to the brush housing. Use a screw driver to press lead terminal through the slot. 8. Conduct the following: Servicing the Multi-speed Switch. It's easy to see why the multispeed switch is a critical component to the operation of your food blender. Because of its high use and complexity, it is a frequent culprit when things go wrong.

Multi-speed switch



Servicing a fuse. Fortunately, most blenders include an in-line fuse that protects the motor from overload. If excessive current is sent to the motor, the fuse will blow.

16



Motor servicing is easy to test. Because there is a circuit running from the appliance cord, through the multispeed controls, to the motor, and back to the cord, an ohmmeter (part of your multitester) can test the circuit.



Tightening the Drive Stud. If the motor operates well, but the blade in the blender jar doesn't turn as it should, the problem may be the drive stud. The most frequent cause is a loose drive stud.



Service the Blade Assembly. The blender's blade assembly is simple in its function. It is rotated by the drive stud, which blends or chops food within the jar. The most common problem is caused by the jar leaking liquids. The solution is to tighten the base. If this doesn't solve the problem, inspect and if necessary, replace the gasket.

OPERATION SHEET 3.2 Procedure in Maintaining and Repairing a Blender Servicing the Multispeed Switch: Step 1: Remove the blender base. Step 2: Attach the multi-speed switch to the base with clips or screws accessed from underneath the base's faceplate or from inside the base. Visually inspect the switch before removing it. In many cases, the problem is a loose terminal. Otherwise, a blackened terminal or wire may identify where the problem has occurred. Step 3: To check the multispeed switch use a continuity tester or multitester. Step 4: Because of its exposed location in front of the blender, the switch is susceptible to damage from liquids. Use a can of compressed air or an electrical contact cleaner to clean the switch. (Note: Before testing the switch, make sure to remove it from the blender)

Servicing a fuse: Step 1: Remove the blender base and locate the fuse in the wire from the multispeed switch to the motor. Step 2: Disconnect the wire and use a continuity tester or multitester to check the fuse. If the circuit is open, the fuse is blown. Step 3: Replace the faulty in-line fuse with one of identical rating.

Servicing the Motor: Step 1: Place a probe on each cord prong. Step 2: Select a speed-control button or turn the speed controller slightly, then read the resistance on the meter. Step 3: Next, rotate the drive stud clockwise by turning it once. If the resistance reading (in ohms) changes, the motor needs service. Take it to an appliance-repair service or replace the appliance with a good one depending on cost.

30

Tightening the Drive Stud Step 1: Remove the base and turn the blender over. The other end of the drive shaft will protrude from the bottom side of the motor. Step 2: Grip the drive shaft with a wrench or pliers, and then turn the blender on its side to attach a wrench to the drive stud. Step 3: Hold the drive shaft steady as you turn the drive stud clockwise. The other cause of drive stud problems is the rounding of its corners, requiring a new drive stud. To replace a worn drive stud, reverse the instructions for tightening a drive stud, install the new part, and tighten it.

Service the Blade Assembly The blender's blade assembly is simple in its function. It is rotated by the drive stud which blends or chops food within the jar. The most common problem is leaking liquids in the jar. The solution is to tighten the base. If this doesn't solve the problem, inspect and if necessary, replace the gasket.

INFORMATION SHEET 3.1  PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: It is the employer’s responsibility to provide protective clothing and equipment. Work clothes and specially designed protective clothing are designed for your protection. Wear the correct clothing and equipment to protect yourself from possible serious injury. Do not interfere with or misuse any item provided by your employer for health and safety. Wear plain, tough clothes that are closefitting and keep them buttoned up. Loose sleeves, unbuttoned or torn shirts or sweaters, ties or loose belts can easily be caught in revolving machinery. Your work clothes should be cleaned regularly. Wear cuff less trousers. Trouser cuffs may cause you to trip or they may catch sparks or harmful substances. Wear suitable footwear and keep it in good repair. Wear safety shoes or boots with insulated sole for electrical work. Good uppers protect against burning from hot turning, drops of molten metal, etc. safety shoes and boots have reinforced toecaps to protect against heavy falling objects. Keep long hair under a tight fitting cap or net, as required by regulations. It is your employer’s duty to ensure that machineries have guards to protect employees who work closely to machine. Even, so, if your hair is long, it could be easily caught in machinery, such as a frilling machine. Many people have been scalped in this type of accident. Do not wear rings or wrist watches on the job. Because such item can be caught on moving machinery. It is extremely dangerous to wear them in certain types of work. You could lose fingers. Do not wear earrings, neck chains, pendants and bracelets. All items or personal jewelry worn at work have the potential to cause an accident or aggravate an injury sustained in an accident. Wear personal protective equipment suited to the work to be done. Learn the purpose of each item in the wide range of protective devices available.

A. HOW IS ESD GENERATED Static charge is a form of electricity at rest. It can be generated by simple friction, that is, rubbing two objects together. A simple method of generating a static charge is to rub a plastic ballpen case on a nylon cloth. Once generated, the static electricity will remain on the ballpen for as long as it is not placed on any other charged materials. If ever the ballpen comes in contact with another object, the static electricity can move to or from the ballpen to equalize the charge between the two objects. The transfer of static electricity from any of the two objects is called electro-static discharge. One inexhaustible source of electrons that can supply or accept them without any effect is the earth. Whatever charged object brought into it is immediately discharged. This simple illustration does not necessarily mean that static electricity can be generated intentionally. The truth is that static electricity can be generated in a multitude of possible ways. Rubbing of hands or arms on a table can result to the generation of up to about 3000 volts of static electricity. Sliding of the IC pins in a plastic box can result to the generation of up to 12000 volts of static electricity. A person walking across a vinyl floor can generate about 13,000 volts of static electricity. The amount of static electricity varies with the environment and it depends primarily on the prevailing relative humidity. The moisture in the air offers a readily present conductive path to ground fro static electricity and hence avoiding any static build-up.

B. ESD WRIST STRAPS ESD wrist straps are also called conductive wrist straps or bands. They are usually made of elastic cloth but contain conductive strands that touch your skin and so bleed off any static electricity on your body. Some straps are made of conductive rubber. The wire attached to the strap contains a large value resistor, usually one mega-ohm (1,000,000 ohms) that allows any charge on your body to be slowly transferred to a washing machine ground point. This build in resistor also limits the amount of current to a safe level in case the other end of the wire touches a power supply voltage. Some ESD kits also contain a conductive pad on which you can place components, like circuit boards and ICs, when they’re out of the switch box of an washing machine. Often there’s an additional clip on the wire leading from the wrist strap that you can attach to this conductive pad, so that any charge on the pad will also flow to the washing machine ground point.

36

C. ELECTRO-STATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) PROTECTION PROCEDURE 1. Purchase an antistatic kit from a computer or electronics supply store. Kits vary, but the main component is an ESD wrist strap with a wire several feet long having an alligator clip at the other end. 2. So to start off when troubleshooting washing machine, get an ESD wrist strap and wear it wherever you go under the covers or handle ICs and circuit boards. 3. Put the adjustable strap around your wrist (usually the left wrist if you’re right handed). Wearing an ESD wrist strap connected to frame or chassis ground drains static charges off your body, preventing damaging ESD. 4. Attach the clip at the end of the wire to an electrical ground connection or metal framework of the washing machine. 5. If you work on a washing machine without a conductive wrist strap, touch an electrical appliance such as a lamp or the screw in a wall outlet cover plate, before touching the PCB circuit. An electrostatic discharge of just a few hundred volts is too small to feel in most cases, but can be usually deadly to ESD sensitive devices. 6. When you are working with a switch box of a washing machine, touch a ground point, like the metal extension pole, before touching anything else. This should ground out any static charge on your body. Also, avoid wearing clothes that easily produce a static charge, such as, knits and wools and limit your movements as much as possible, especially on carpets, while working on electronic circuits of a washing machine.

JOB SHEET 3.1 COMPONENT REPLACEMENT 1. Determine the description of the values and ratings of the individual defective parts from the manufacturer’s service manual. 2. Identify the sources of replacement components/parts .  Original replacement components from the original factory sources  Universal replacement components from independent factory sources  Always consider the physical size of the replacement part 3. Consider the factors in the selection of specific part.  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. Local access to parts and whether the parts are available.  Price. It refers to the affordability of the replacement parts at a reasonable price. 4. Disconnect or remove properly the electrical/mechanical parts of a washing machine. 5. Install correctly replacement part/components in existing washing machine. MAINTENANCE OF WASHING MACHINE 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.

 SOLVENTS FOR CLEANING 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. 2. 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 applied to areas with heavy stain. 40

INFORMATION SHEET 3.1 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.  Check the placement of the wires or leads of the replacement component.  Consider significant factors used in the original installation such as insulating washer, silicon grease and locating mark for pin connections.  Observe proper placement of the component leads for electrical parts. 3. Perform the techniques for the proper soldering of electrical parts.  Be careful not to damage adjacent components.  Be careful not to lift the copper conductive path from circuit board base material.  Avoid any solder bridges between board paths.  Do not destroy the component being removed in case it is still functional and be careful not to damage the component being installed. 4. Verify all connections and harness. 

Be sure that all components pre-positioned in a manner that will avoid the possibility of having adjacent components short circuited.



Be sure to check or inspect all insulators and barriers between sections after working on any model/brand of washing machine.



Check for frayed or broken insulation on all wiring including the AC line cord.

41



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.

5. Once the repair is completed, perform an AC leakage test on all exposed metal parts of an washing machine to eliminate the possibility of electric shock.   

Perform complete retesting of the washing machine to ensure the correctness of the actual repair. 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. Recheck or inspect if the repair was done correctly and the unit functions properly to ensure successful completion of the repair.

6. Clean the washing machine before it would be returned to the customer.  

Be sure that the blade, front and rear guards of the washing machine are properly cleaned. Be sure that proper cleaning is given to the control panel or switch box of the washing machine.

INFORMATION SHEET 3.1 Maintain and Repair Flat Iron Proper care to a Flat Iron 1. Prevent the iron fro falling on heavily padded board. 2. Avoid excessive scratches on iron plate due to direct contact from buttons, hooks, zipper, etc. 3. Cool iron before storing. Do not wrap cord around iron especially when it is still hot. 4. Put iron on a safe place to cool. 5. Always store iron in an upright position, on its heel rest, so that soleplate will not be scratched. 6. Clean brown stains in soleplate by heating the iron to a high temperature and iron it over to salt in wax paper. A non-scratchy household cleaner may also be used. To use a flat iron 1. Adjust the temperature selector to a minimum position before plugging cord into electrical outlet. 2. Pre-heat the unit 2 minutes before using. 3. To improve dry ironing results, sprinkle garments evenly at least one hour before ironing. 4. Unplug iron by gripping plug and pulling it from the outlet. Never yank the cord! To clean polished aluminum soleplate 1. Unplug the iron. 2. Make a paste of mild scouring powder and a little amount of water. Apply a small amount to soleplate using a damp cloth and rub the soiled area. Wipe thoroughly. 3. Do not use metal scouring pads since they will scratch the soleplate. Store Iron After iron has cooled, wrap cord loosely. To protect soleplate, always store iron on heel rest. Mail/travel iron When iron is cool, pack it carefully in its box.

17

Important: When using an iron, basic precautions should always be followed: 1. Read the instructions first. 2. Use the iron only for its intended use. 3. To protect against risk of electric shock, do not immerse any part of the iron in water or other liquid. 4. The iron should always be turned to MIN position before plugging or unplugging from the outlet. Never yank cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead grasp plug and pull it to disconnect. 5. Do not allow the cord to touch hot surfaces. Let iron cool completely. 6. Do not operate iron if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner, as such may cause temperature setting in occasion or electric shock. Do not assemble the iron; take it to the dealer from whom the product was purchased for examination or any professional technician. Incorrect assembly can cause electric shock when the iron is used. 7. Close supervision is necessary for any appliances being used by or near children. Do not leave the iron unattended when plugged into the outlet or in an ironing board. Always position the iron carefully to prevent it from falling if ironing board is accidentally knocked or if the cord is pulled. When not in use, always stand the iron on heel rest. 8. Burn can occur from touching hot metal parts. 9. The use of accessory attachment not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may create hazards or damage your flat iron. 10. Do not use the iron outdoor. 11. Do not operate in the presence of explosive and/or flammable materials.

INFORMATION SHEET 1.1 Rice Cooker Rice Cooker     

This self-contained kitchen appliance is used primarily for cooking rice. It is used to prepare steamed rice and keep them warm after cooking. It consists of an insulated case containing a removable cooking pot. A heating element is located between the two Containers which is usually controlled by a thermostat. The cooking pot is usually calibrated to ensure proper proportions of the rice and water.

Application and Uses of Rice Cooker Rice cooker is used both in home and commercial kitchens for various purposes:  To cook rice  To keep rice warm  To steam fish or vegetables

PROPER HANDLING OF A RICE COOKER How to use a rice cooker? Before using any other accessory, make sure that the power unit is on a suitable work surface and switch it to off position. Put the protective cover over the drive when you are not using the rice cooker.

How does the rice cooker operate? In most rice cooker, the rice and the water are poured in at the start of cooking. The heater then brings the water to its boiling point during which the rice absorbs the water and expands. While cooking the rest of the water boil away and the machine either shuts off or switches to “keep warm” mode.

Major Parts of a Rice Cooker and their Functions:

Power Cord is a cord that temporarily connects an electrical appliance to an electrical power source. The term is generally used for cables using a power plug to connect to a single-phase.

. Cast Heater is a part of a rice cooker that produces heat to the aluminum pan which serves as a heating element of the rice cooker.

Mica heater is consists of an etched-foil sandwiched between layers of mica. Installed by clamping to heat sinks, mica heater provides the ultimate temperature and wattage capability for fast warm-up.

Thermal fuse is a cut-off device which uses a one-time fuse link. Unlike the thermostat which automatically resets itself when temperature drops, the thermal fuse is more like an electrical fuse.

Thermostat assembly is a device, as in a home heating system that automatically responds to temperature changes and activates switches controlling the equipment.

4

Fluro pan is a part of a rice cooker where the rice is placed.

Outer Lid assembly is one of the major parts of a rice cooker and which serves as a wife of an aluminum pan, because this part is responsible to cover the bowl or an aluminum pan.

Body assembly is a part of a rice cooker in which the label is usually found and the holder of the outer lid assembly.

Switch assembly is a part of a rice cooker that controls the whole operation automatically.
