Where to study: Appliance repair

Have you ever taken apart your toaster to see how it works? Better yet, have you put it back together only to have it run smoother than ever? People involved in appliance repair are mechanically minded, working on everything from washing machines to air conditioners. As with electrical work and other jobs in the trades, it requires scrupulous attention to safety as well as a commitment to keeping up-to-date on advancing technology.
