As an appliance repair technician, you’ll work with anything from refrigerators to microwaves to dryers. In other words, you’ll need to be knowledgeable about large and small appliances, mechanical and plumbing, as well as electrical work.

You’ll deal with more than just appliances, though, as a repair technician. You’ll have to deal with people, too.

A great appliance repair technician must also have skills in high mechanical aptitude, have impeccable written and verbal communication skills, work adeptly with tools, be okay with lifting heavy equipment, and of course, be incredibly skilled in troubleshooting problems.
