Major appliances have become more sophisticated, taking them out of the screwdriver and pliers category.
Their electrical circuits include several different types of automatic controls, switches, heaters, valves, etc..
Semiconductors, solid-state controls, and other components usually associated with radio and television
electronic circuits, are being engineered into automatic washers, dryers, dishwashers, and refrigerators.
The appliance technician is emerging into a professional status of his own. He must prepare himself now
to be able to perform his duties today as well as to retain his professionalism in the future.
No longer is on-the-job training sufficient to prepare technicians for the complicated procedures required
for todays sophisticated appliances. This training can best be obtained through organized classroom study
and application. However, much of the knowledge necessary to service todays appliances can be obtained
through study courses. Completion of this and other courses will provide you with sufficient understanding of
appliances and their operation to enable you to do minor service. It will also serve as a valuable stepping
stone to more advanced study and on-the-job training to improve your servicing skills.

WIRING DIAGRAMS
Appliance circuits can be complex. In order to construct a diagram of these circuits, the different components
and switches must be represented by symbols. The ability to read the symbols and a wiring diagram is one of
the most important diagnostic tools for an appliance technician.
This lesson is designed to instruct in the reading, interpretation, and construction of wiring diagrams. It is in
the form of programmed instructions, which allows the student to work at their own pace and correct any
errors immediately.
