 V. Learning Activities
Conducting an initial assessment of appliance to
verify defects is very important to have an effective
troubleshooting strategy. Technician must have
knowledge on how the appliance operates and what are
the parts and functions of each part. Here are the appliances with electric
motor that you must be familiar with:

Electric fan
Electric Fan – is an air moving machine used to
cool with an AC Motor connected to the 60 Hz
power source which converts electrical energy to
mechanical energy in order to generate a moving
air. It is a power driven machine capable of
providing high air flow parallel to the axis of the
motor shaft where an axially mounted impeller or
fan blade agitates the air. The air
velocity/delivery of the electric fan is controlled
by a mechanical speed selector switch for old models and electronically
controlled speed selector switch for new models. Timer is also included for
fully automatic operations.

Parts of Electric Fan

1. Front Guard - a protective metal
mesh wire used to prevent the fan
blade from any physical contact
with foreign objects.
2. Guard Mark - a logo of the
manufacturer of the electric fan
which is mounted at the center of
the front guard.
3. Switch Box - a panel board for the
controls of the electric fan.
4. Inner Pipe - a metal tube inserted into the outer tube intended for
proper height adjustment of the electric fan.
5. Outer Pipe - a metal tube attached to the base stand of the electric fan.
6. Base Stand - the bottom or lowest part of the electric fan where it stands
as a foundation.

5
7. Blade - a propeller made out of plastic or metal which is attached in to
the motor shaft and agitates air when the motor rotates.
8. Remote Control - a transmitter device used to control the electric fan
from a distance.

Block Diagram of Electronically-Controlled Electric

Fan (ECEF)

1. Power Controller – It is a circuit that controls the amount of power

supplied to the motor.
2. Sensor – It is the input receiver that detects input signal coming from
remote control.
3. Manual Control – It is a push button switch that controls manually
operation of the electric fan.
4. Timer – It is use to switch on or switch off automatically with
predetermine time.
5. Comparator – It is a processing circuit that accepts the input signal
coming from remote control, manual switch or timer switch. This circuit
provides the triggering voltage to the power controller.
6. AC Motor – A rotating electric machine which changes applied
electrical energy or power into mechanical output energy or power.
7. AC Plug – It is a connector intended for connecting to the main source
220V.

Based on the block diagram you can tell that the flow of electricity
starts with the AC plug and connected with the power controller. Power
controller control the amount of power of AC motor which power the shaft
to rotate the fan. The amount of power that will be supplied by the power
controller to the motor are dictated by the comparator which received the

6
 signal from remote control, manual switch or timer switch. This input of
signal varies the speed the rotation of the fan.

Washing Machine

Washing Machine – is a domestic appliance

that washes clothes and linens. It is a power
driven machine with an AC motors connected to
the 60 Hz power source so that the electrical
energy can be converted into mechanical energy
in order to facilitate an act of washing rinsing
and spinning. It also includes wash and spin
timers for automatic operations.

PARTS OF WASHING MACHINE AND ITS FUNCTIONS

1. Top Cover – use to cover the tub.

2. Pulsator – is a rotating part inside the tub. Responsible in
making the water spin.
3. Drain Hose – It served as a passage way out.
4. Side Cover Tub – It is the main housing of the unit.
5. Drum – It served as a washing tub.
6. Water Supply Hose - It served as an inlet of water.

7
 Block Diagram of Electronically-Controlled Washing
Machine

1. Power Controller – It is a circuit that controls the amount of power

supplied to the motor.
2. Sensor – It is the input receiver that detects input signal coming
from forward and reverse motor. It detects any abnormality of the
operation for automatic shut off.
3. Program Selection Control – It is a push button switch that
controls the operation of the washing machine. This circuit has a
timing sequence for low, medium or high.
4. Comparator – It is a processing circuit that accepts the input signal
coming from sensor, program selection control. This circuit provides
the triggering voltage to the power controller.
5. Forward/Reverse Motor – A rotating electric machine which
changes applied electrical energy or power into mechanical output
energy or power.
6. Buzzer – It is a device used to generate sound, once the program
operation is completed or problem occurred.
7. Input Command – It is a setting period of the user.
8. AC Plug – It is a connector intended for connecting to the main
source 220V.

Washing machine works the same as the electric fan. The only
difference is the motor. Washing machine motor is a forward and reverse
motor. As you can see in the operation of washing machine. The pulsator or
agitator are rotating alternately clockwise and counter clockwise. This
motion help in cleaning your clothes.

Electric food blender

A food blender is…

8
  a motorized small appliance that blends, chops, and grates
food.
 a handy electrical gadget that makes chopping and mixing
food easier.
 a liquidizer or kitchen appliance used to mix ingredients or
puree food.
 a stationary, upright electrical device, which is to be
distinguished from a hand-powered or electric mixer that
may be used for similar purposes.

How a blender operates?

A blade inside a jar is connected to a motor shaft inside the
unit. The blade speed is controlled by varying electric current to the motor
using one or more switches. The motor is operated by supplying electric
current to the motor.

Applications and uses of a blender

Blenders are used both in home and commercial kitchens for

various purposes:

 to crush ice in drinks

 to make smooth purées of semi-solid ingredients, such as
cooked vegetables and meat
 to reduce small solids such as spices and seeds to powder or
nut butters
 to blend mixtures of powders, granules, and/or liquids
thoroughly to help dissolve solid into liquid

9
1. Blending container (jar)-made of glass, plastic, or stainless steel,
and often has graduated markings for approximate measuring
purposes.
2. At the top of the container is a lid to prevent ingredients from
escaping during operation.
3. At the bottom is a blade assembly, sometimes removable for
cleaning purposes. In cases where the blades are removable, the
container should have an o-ring between the body of the container
and the base to seal the container and prevent the contents from
leaking.
4. The container rests upon a base that contains a motor for turning
the blade assembly and has controls on its surface. Most modern
blenders offer a number of possible speeds.

10
 5. Selector switch is used to control the speed of the motor. It comes
in different speed.
6. The power train of a blender (motor). A fan-cooled electric motor
is secured into the housing by way of vibration dampeners, and a
small output shaft penetrates the upper housing and meshes with
the blade assembly

Block Diagram of Electronically-Controlled Food Blender

Food blender operation is very simple. Electricity from the outlet goes
to the voltage controller. Voltage that power the motor vary on the signal
that is send by the speed comparator. Speed comparator rely on the selected
speed of the switch.
