DIY Appliance Repair Business

help American teenagers have a future by telling them to go and get an apprentice job learning to repair basic home appliances, this can open their mind to understand mechanical engineering and also give them Insight in how to run their own business. wouldn't it be great if your teenager grew up and started a business that they could actually make more money than you and hire you their parent to come and work for them? how do we get jobs back in america? we start teaching skills!

This is what we need to do, get back to basics and learn to repair them not throwing them away. I live in Australia and lots of older generations I speak to wish that appliances and other goods can be repaired. I am a strong believer that we should be repairing rather than throwing away.

In the old days, school had a "Co-operative Education Program." Students trained for work while attending high school. *Apprenticeships *Paid Internships *Co-operative Education *Habitat for Humanity Working 15-20 hrs per week for pay would keep high schoolers in school. Put 10% of the pay in a Roth IRA to start saving for retirement.

My teenager fixed my dryer after watching a KZbin video after the repairman quoted me $400. My son just needed a $35 part, and it took 30 minutes

[@tonyb.2341]

Well you were paying the repairman for his time his labor and for the part. But he needs to make a profit off that part not just break even. This is why it’s better to learn how to fix things yourself. So good job on your son. But then learning how to do things yourself affects the economy because jobs will be lost. It’s a double edge sword

[@ednaking956]

$400???!!! Great, just what America needs---MORE crooks!!!

GREAT JOB ENCOURAGING HIM @starlawilson

I do this every day. I work with exceptional people and meet new people every day. People rely upon my knowledge and abilities and are very generous when you fix their problems. I’ve built several friendships amongst my acquaintances through work. I add to my knowledge every day and every day is unique. I work out of the weather and in climate controlled environments 99% of the time. I have ample time for personal adventures and occasionally work 4 days a week at 10 hrs a day. I love my job.

Greetings from San Francisco, I really like your history and life, I am a woman and a mom and believe it or not I find it fascinating all about washer and dryer appliances how they function and work....most women couldn't care less but I think I'm different you are living the perfect life in my eyes Mr. Appliance....I only wish someone could teach my only son......good luck in your career always..........🌁🙂 The Estrada's

[@kimkuks6370]

brilliant observations. Dont worry about Yale. This is why we need vocational education in High school. Not all jobs are college track, yet are very lucrative opportunities for people who want to be helpbul and self employed. PROMOTE THE TRADES!

[@tinawhite9810]

Agreed

[@heckinharvey]

Im 2 years in at 26 years old. Thanks to good old google I skyrocketed in knowledge in the first 6 months. The confidence I've gained at taking something apart and putting it back together has been applicable in many, many other situations.

[@iplantseeds4639]

This is truth We need to teach how to repair stuff instead of just throw it away Do you want your life to have a future and prosperity you have to teach others of how to fix stuff so they can provide for themselves and their families

[@robertrgonzales2464]

I hire young men straight out of HS to be apprentices for my appliance company. The reason being is they need an opportunity, and they have not learned or any bad habits that service technicians develop.🙏

[@jeromedavis8575]

I live in Nacogdoches, Texas. Do you need my address or the city only?

[@jpadgr8]

Learn this trade thru my dad. I’ve been an appliance technician since 1991. Back ground in HVAC/R. Best trade.

[@IntensePeppers]

What makes it a good trade?

[@bc2647]

This is cool.....way cool 👍👍👍👍

[@MisterBrownJack]

I've always been fascinated with washing machines ever since I was around 3 yeats old and loved watching them go through their cycle and always watched videos on how they worked and how to fix them which is how I self taught myself about them. I then started collecting and repairing them as one of my hobbies including diagnosing and fixing our own machines including some other family members machines etc. I also always been inspired by my Dad as well since he is an engineer and always been inrested in field of engineering and always wanted to become one myself. Now I am 16 and I absolutely love working on washers and dryers as my hobby and I am thinking of starting my very own businesses in the near future.

[@philliphall5198]

It’s a great career choice now and take small amount off tools and equipment plus easy to learn 😊

[@marcygiles9027]

Sure is PLENTY to work on and learn how to fix them!!

[@ARMODILLOXX33]

Awesome advice!❤

[@JAGFamily10]

With the bad economy I had to learn from scratch right out of college, it’s amazing how fun and Interesting repairing things is! Love it

[@sat_homeless]

Im 18 and already ranting about how stuff is engineered to break. Learned how to fix anything from appliances to rebuilding engines all thanks to youtube. People work all their lives to have a home and car just for them to fall apart. This should be a main topic amongst out politicians.

[@kenjames7987]

I’ve been in this trade for over 20 yrs and own my own small repair business outside of Los Angeles for almost 10yrs now and I’ll be the first to say that it’s incredibly difficult to find good help with appliance repair experience. I’ve needed techs for going on 7 months now and can’t seem to find anyone who knows how or wants to know how to repair appliances

[@robertrgonzales2464]

Amen brother, I live in N.M. and I own my business as well and I am having rhe same issue. There just doesn't seem to be anyone willing to put the time in to get an honest paycheck. Look into trade schools, the VA, and HS counselors. GOOD LUCK BROTHER🙏

[@MA-vm6jl]

If you are out of Los Angeles. Post your company. I know someone will call u

[@TheSouthernSkunk]

People say that the appliance repair company is a dying trade. They say with how they are being made, it cost as much to fix them as it does to buy new. What are you thoughts? I've been repairing appliances, but have considered looking into different opportunities.

[@czechmate6916]

This is a great message to the youth of America 🇺🇸

[@JoseGarcia-le4dx]

Very good advice 👌

[@courtneyreese5160]

21… been around appliances since about 8-9 years old and ended up starting my own company this year! All I’m going to say is if someone my age starts now I promise you the future looks so damn bright in this😅. Pockets will stay full and you won’t ever worry about work!

[@neoanderson4840]

100 % AGREED AND SUBSCRIBED FOR SAME REASON A WHILE BACK .... we have to get away from this use n throw attitude .... this unwanted cheap abundance n come to our senses of VALUE FOR MONEY N THRIFT / FRUGALITY ( NOT MISERLY ) N MAINTAINABILITY .... GODBLESS....THIS IS THE CONTENT I VOTE FOR . 😊

[@Dexion845]

Honestly this could apply to almost all modern appliances.

[@mitchk2981]

I didn’t see a Speed Queen in that whole room of broken washers.

[@ednaking956]

That's bc Speed Queen isn't garbage!!!

[@SQTierHog]

Yes, there was.

[@angxl_audios7163]

My dad currently knows how to fix direct drives only with the motor and transmission and, I know how to fix them too, but I really want to encourage my dad that we should start with the modern ones but he don’t want to cause they are too difficult

[@joshf8231]

And I have subscribed!!! 👏👏👍

[@jjshow8572]

My Maytag had a wire clip pop off and it tripped the breaker after basically welding it self on to another piece of metal. Put a new clip on the wire. But had to tear entire dryer apart. Literally fixed it for nothing. My maytags are prolly 20 years old. That was the only issue I’ve ever had. No issues with the washer at all.

[@seanstrickley3992]

Love it. Wish school actually taught u things that really needed to be taught like trades do. I love being a appliance tech and helping others out. Great business. Thinking about starting my own I already do it on the side and work doing it full time just getting things setup is key. Being certified Nate cert and getting EPA cert working on refrigerants universally. Then getting your own business online going u don't need a building just use your home for stock or have the parts sent to customers home or go to warehouse buy the parts directly. Stuff is easy just advertise it

[@groupergary5536]

I fixed my 3.5 year old whirlpool washer myself replaced actuator. 3 months later the splutch was going out and it needed suspension rods. Pitched it out the house.

[@bigta1982]

Every time I call a repair man, they charge me $80 and tell me it would be cheaper to buy a new one...

[@cesmith48]

You are correct. America has 2.7M people incarerated. Training people in the Trades is an excellent way to reduce recidivism rates which reduces the need to pay to keep people locked up. Rehabilitation for those who canbe rehabilitated. Not all inmates can be. But, those who can be should be.

[@michaelcatalanottohandyman]

The problem is that the corporations making things “not to last” and the extremely high price of labor and parts. It ends up being cheaper to replace something then to get it fixed. Mostly though it boils down to time . Making a quick swap is faster and sometimes cheaper because time is money and nobody wants to sit around and wait to get on the schedule for a professional appliance repair technician. Everybody’s looking for instant gratification.

[@Mr.QuantumC0re]

Becoming a handy daddy.

[@mommabird2813]

Exactly

[@yolo_burrito]

I worked on heavy equipment straight out of high school for about a decade. The experience was great but the pay was garbage, I went to school nights and weekends and graduated college at 29. Until we stop importing the cheapest garbage and actually produce things that are durable and repairable there’s really no future for many people in doing so.

[@BoredRock112]

There's a washer up at my papa's that he said the transmission blew its a 1998 whirlpool direct drive u want it?

[@tonyb.2341]

As a millennial this is frustrating. Because as my generation was growing up we were told to go to college and get a job. Trades were looked down on. Now it’s the opposite today.

[@jeromedavis8575]

I’d like to learn to tinker with washers and dryers to see how they work, including dishwashers. I’m wondering if there’s anybody in the Nacogdoches area who’s willing to show me.

[@robertrgonzales2464]

If I was in your area I would be happy to employ you. I might be branching out to your area, where exactly do you live, I will need a registered agent for your area?

[@jamesknowles6665]

Four years of college turned in to 35 years in a trade. The ready- mixed concrete industry.

[@tjjj-zi7qu]

All is saw in that room were whirlpool company products, not even a single LG, say what you want to say but our LG front loader later us 10 years running about 100 loads a month and we only got rid of it because when we sold our house the owners wanted it.

[@justinfowler2857]

The problem is that so many appliances are built to fail. If they do need repairs parts are not available. My parents had a 6 year old washer where the control board went bad. A untested used replacement was 1/3 the cost of a new washer. A new board was more than 1/2 the cost. Thus the old one got tossed.

[@rodneybrown6326]

My son could troubleshoot a refrigerator at 6 years old. 😮. Defrost timer Dad. 👍

[@franklinpiper1422]

@appliance-insider What do think about the Temu portable washing machine?

[@geenda1316]

Tech aptitude is always good + it teaches u organization and value of the dollar... But repair is dead in USA. If fridge is 5 yr old and breakers down.. I am getting a new one.. about the same money.

[@dev_taco]

Not if these manufacturers have something to say about it. Get more involved in right to repair.

[@ednaking956]

My expensive LG refrigerator was worked on about 6 or 7 times, and it was STILL a piece of junk!!!

What is your opinion on the future of appliance repair?

[@appliance-insider]

I think it's one of the greatest opportunities in the next 5 to 10 years, so long as we can keep getting the parts it makes me wonder the guys that have a junkyard in their backyard is it a gold mine? When they stop making the parts for the old machines and you're the only one that has it..

[@angxl_audios7163]

haha, can I work for you?

[@tuvoca825]

Why not also have the cops take the car for evidence and then use criminal forfeiture actions to remove it from them once they are found guilty? They won't need a car in prison anyway. Why not sell it and then put that into a victim's fund?

[@ednaking956]

I have a BETTER idea, STOP making garbage appliances!!!!!!
