Why does nobody talk about the shift from analog to digital multimeters for appliance work?
Honestly, I used to swear by my old Fluke 77 for everything, even on modern boards. Ngl, after a job in Tampa last year where I missed a tiny voltage drop on a control board, I switched to a Fluke 117 for the low impedance setting. It just reads cleaner on those new digital displays and I haven't had a ghost voltage call since. What's your go-to meter for the smart appliance stuff now?

Man, ghost voltage is the worst. That low-Z mode on the 117 is a total game changer for modern stuff, isn't it?

Totally fried a board that way once.
