HAVE YOU EVER SAID ANY OF THESE THINGS? - I don't know how to determine what's wrong with my appliance... - I don't know where to find the right parts I need for the repair... - I don't want to have to buy a new washer, dryer, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher... - I don't want to pay $100 just to get a technician to show up at my door and then hundreds more for the repair... If you can relate to any of that, then this book is going to be life-changing for you. WHY SHOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME? Many years ago, my dryer died. I was on a shoestring budget and my wife really needed our gas dryer to work. I could not afford to get it fixed or to buy a new one, so I decided to try to fix it myself. I was able to find out that the igniter was bad, and it was really easy to replace. I was able to fix the problem in about an hour and the part only cost about $15. Since then I have learned how to fix all of my own appliances, I have 2 years college in electrical engineering, 31 years experience in the military and with major companies in the field of electronics and computers, and for the past 8 years. I have had my own appliance repair business and now I get to share my secrets to help you learn to fix your own appliances. Many DIY appliance owners are well able to repair their appliances. They have the basic mechanical skills and the basic tools they need but they lack the knowledge of how to go about doing it. Knowledge is Power. I will help you find that knowledge and apply that power to be able to repair your own appliances. Lenny Duval is a graduate of numerous military electronics schools in both the USAF and the Navy. He graduated at the top of his classes for UHF and VHF communications equipment, Radar, Navigation, and Cryptographic equipment. He has a Bachelor of Theology degree and studied Electrical Engineering at LSU for 2 years. Lenny worked in the Electronics industry in Silicon Valley for many years as a technician and a supervisor and started his own computer company in 1976. He has managed his own Appliance Repair Business since 2013.

Excerpt from Mechanics of the Household: A Course of Study Devoted to Domestic Machinery and Household Mechanical Appliances This book is intended to be a presentation of the physical principles and mechanism employed in the equipment that has been developed for domestic convenience. Its aim is to provide information relative to the general practice of domestic engi neering. The scope of the work is such as to present: first, the use of household mechanical appliances; second, the principles involved and the mechanism employed. It is not exhaustive, neither does it touch many of the secondary topics that might be discussed in connection with the various subjects. It does, however, describe at least one representative piece of each type of household apparatus that is used in good practice.

Since January 1990, when the first edition ofthis first-of-a-kind book appeared, there has been much experimental and theoretical progress in the multi disciplinary subject of tribology and mechanics of magnetic storage devices. The subject has matured into a rigorous discipline, and many university tribology and mechanics courses now routinely contain material on magnetic storage devices. The major growth in the subject has been on the micro- and nanoscale aspects of tribology and mechanics. Today, most large magnetic storage industries use atomic force microscopes to image the magnetic storage components. Many companies use variations of AFMs such as friction force microscopes (FFMs) for frictional studies. These instruments have also been used for studying scratch, wear, and indentation. These studies are valuable in the fundamental understanding of interfacial phenomena. In the second edition, I have added a new chapter, Chapter 11, on micro and nanoscale aspects of tribology and mechanics of magnetic storage compo nents. This chapter presents the state of the art of the micro/nanotribology and micro/nanomechanics of magnetic storage components. In addition, typographical errors in Chapters 1 to 10 and the appendixes have been corrected. These additions update this book and make it more valuable to researchers of the subject. I am grateful to many colleagues and particularly to my students, whose work is reported in Chapter 11. I thank my wife, Sudha, who has been forbearing during the progress of the research reported in this chapter.
