Add to Your Knowledge and Income
Dryers and washers are both fairly easy once you’ve mastered the Fundamentals. Refrigerators on the other hand add a whole other level of complexity. Not surprisingly, expertise with refrigerators is both the most in-demand and most profitable knowledge an appliance repair tech can have (okay, second-most after the Fundamentals).
Tackling the additional complexities of refrigerator troubleshooting and repair is the next step on the road to mastery. This course will make you a master troubleshooter of today’s computer-controlled refrigerators, and teach you the skills needed to repair the majority of repair scenarios.
