ESD wrist straps are also called conductive wrist straps or bands. They
are usually made of elastic cloth but contain conductive strands that touch
your skin and so bleed off any static electricity on your body. Some straps are
made of conductive rubber. The wire attached to the strap contains a large
value resistor, usually one megohm (1,000,000 ohms) that allows any charge on
your body to be slowly transferred to a washing machine ground point. This
build in resistor also limits the amount of current to a safe level in case the
other end of the wire touches a power supply voltage.
Some ESD kits also contain a conductive pad on which you can place
components, like circuit boards and ICs, when they’re out of the switch box of
an washing machine. Often there’s an additional clip on the wire leading from
the wrist strap that you can attach to this conductive pad, so that any charge
on the pad will also flow to the washing machine ground point.

What would you do if there is no available service
manual or schematic diagram for the defective unit?
Why do you need to discharge all capacitors mounted in
the circuit before you start the maintenance and repair
jobs?
What would you do in the event that the replacement
part does not correct the problem?
Why is it necessary to perform an AC leakage test on all
exposed metal parts of an washing machine?
What safety precaution must you take before applying
to the repaired washing machine?
What would you do in the event when the previous
problem of the washing machine occurred again while
performing the pre-testing?
Why is it necessary to perform complete re-testing one
the repair of the washing machine is completed?
Why is it necessary to clean the washing machine before
it would be returned to the customer?
