BEFORE WE CAN GO ANY FARTHER BECAUSE A VOLTMETER OR MULTIMETER IS WHAT YOU USE TO YOU CHECK THE PARTS

Where Do I Find A Multimeter?

I know what your thinking... A multimeter...

You Got This!

Don't be intimidated by the multimeter Its simple, plus I got your back with a ton of step by step videos!

Ok back to the multimeter, it doesn't cost very much and we only need it to do one simple function for us which is check for continuity in our refrigerator parts.

No Continuity is bad and we need to find the part with it..

You will get familiar with a multimeter if you have not already.. You will have the ability to find out exactly whats wrong with MANY THINGS THROUGH OUT THE FUTURE.

Owning and using a multimeter gives you the ability to repair everything from appliance problems to dead batterY PROBLEMS WHICH MEANS NO MORE NEED FOR THAT EXPENSIVE HOUSE CALL.

Continuity: The Quick Explanation

Imagine an extension cord plugged into itself.. the cord then has continuity if you unplug it from itself continuity is then broken. No continuity showing on a multimeter has a "0" or "OL" reading on the screen: some multimeters don't beep.
