What You'll Learn
- The principles of how refrigerators operate
- The common refrigerator problems you’ll see on the job
- Specialized troubleshooting and repair of: single and dual evaporator refrigerators, split-phase and inverter-driven compressors
- A systems approach to troubleshooting modern refrigerators
Add to Your Knowledge and Income
Ovens, dryers and washers are all 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.
Prerequisite
You must already have solid training in basic electricity, reading schematics, troubleshooting, and motors. Therefore, we strongly recommend starting your training with Fundamentals of Appliance Repair. If you’re not sure whether you need to take the prereq, take our quiz.

“Very good Course, enjoyed the experience. The only improvement I can suggest is more information on sealed system diagnosis. Like if I run into a starved Evaporator do I have to find and fix the leak first. What methods are available to determine where the leak is. Or if the starving is caused by blocked how can one determine where the blockage is. Also maybe a list of what tools are suggested and necessary ie, I have not worked with piping before but I soldered electronics for many 30+ years, so I think a little practice and I can do it. I will look on the appliantology site for more information also. Thanks for putting together such a detailed course. Overall I give it a 5.”
