The tiny fuse that destroys an electronic life

Guys, today I am going to tell about a little thing related to my work. I hope this willbe very important to my steemit friends as well. First I will tell you a small example. I think this will be clear to you. You know about bacteria and viruses. They are very small invisible creatures. They can even destroy a geat life. Similary, even in the electronic world the tinist fuse can turn off a electronic device completely.

One day a client of mine came to me repair a rice cooker. He said it was broken, and that the device is not receving electronic power. So I took my tools and started repairing it. First I checked the power cable. It is okay. . Power comes through it. Then I checked the thermal fuse . I is burnt. So I figured out the problem. It is a160C° thermal fuse. I brought new one for $0.08 and I fixed it. It worked well.

I will tell you how to test the fuse. First take the multimeter and put it into continuty mode. Then connect the two probs of the multimeter to the two ens of the fuse. If the multimeter beeps, the fuse is working. If there is no sound , it is burnt. That means the continuty is broken. Power does not go beyond that. By changing the fuse we can repair it. It is very easy.

So in this article, I am saying that you should not waste yor valuable electronic equipments because of a small error like this. We can repair them at home. You can save your money. Just a little knowladge is needed. So don't let a small fuse like this ruin precious electronic life.
