How to Test Appliance Parts with a Cheater Cord | How to Make a DIY Power Cord
When you do appliance repair, many times you will want to test a certain part away from the appliance, like to learn how to test a washer drain pump, or test a refrigerator heater. Learning how to build a cheater cord, or tester cord, or component tester is a great, cheap, easy way to do this. I was working on another video and wanted to test the component away from an appliance to see how it worked (the blue heater) which is why I decided to make this video.
I'll likely reference a few things in this video in the future, just in case you need to test a particular appliance part in the future. These are easy and cheap to build, so I have a few of these at my shop, and the on/off switch makes it more practical to do as well.
