I can only try-
The repairs are long finished, I knew enough about voltmeters from high school to get the job done. I was just curious about the additional features.
(The problem was that the defrost heater was busted, a brand new one cost much less than the price of the technician walking through the front door!)
You may find this amusing-
The kids wanted to know how to use my “new toy” so I showed them how test batteries and outlets. By the continuity tester, I told them that it’s a love tester. If someone wants to know if they love someone else, they hold the red wire and the other person holds the black wire. If the voltmeter beeps when the ends are touched it means that he/ she loves the other person. It comes in handy when two of them have a disagreement and one says “I don’t like you anymore”. I tell them that it’s not true and make them take the “love” test. The results are always positive.
(It gets me nervous when they test to see if the baby loves them.)
