Home Appliance Servicing

by Rex Miller

The purpose of this book is to supply the practical information needed to repair and service "modern" home appliances... The text is arranged in a logical sequence. The first chapters furnish the electrical fundamentals and techniques necessary to understand the construction and operation of all electrical appliances. The operation and servicing of resistance-heating appliances, such as irons, toasters, ranges, etc., are fully explained in the second group of chapters. Finally, the motor-driven appliances, both gas and electric, are treated in detail in the third breakdown of chapters. Each chapter is also divided into logical sections that deal with operation, construction, installation (of major appliances), servicing, and repairs.
