Wanna find out how much money you could possibly make with Appliance Repair? Check out my FREE PROFIT SIMULATION at www.applianceprofit.com/FreeProfitSimulation

It's great finding an unreliable brand no one else will touch. Customers are happy that you carry everything with you. I used to fit 3 control boards a day I knew every part and sensor resistance to check and a pump lead to bypass drain the water. The local manufacturing service would delay parts, so I sourced genuine from the source country saving myself 70% on for example 50 inlet valves a month that cost $27 locally if they had any.

Was in basic appliance repair on a part time basis about 10 years ago. I absolutely loved it. Getting back into now and I have to admit, it is somewhat intimidating because of the electronics. Thankfully I have a background in electronics, so I’m muddling through it, again on a part time basis. I’m also recycling and reselling. And again I love it. Retiring in a little over a year in my present job and I’m looking forward to doing this full time. I love it. I wish I did this when I was younger. So I’m digging into KZread looking to see what’s going on with todays repairs. That’s how I stumbled on your channel. I’m hoping to get some good advice. I look forward to watching more. Thank you.

Thank you for watching my videos! I have been really bust lately but plan to put out more useful videos soon!! Stay tuned! And good luck on the appliance repair journey!

I just took a maytag dryer motor and blower housing in a lg dryer. Worked great. And majority of the samsung washer i get just need suspension

It's cuz they are guaranteed to break after 2 years and the cost of fixing it even with the warranty is about $700 ( the lg fridge) and on the repair side you will replace the compressor the a week or month later will need to go back for the evap.

Great video!

I started my home service business in 2021, I do a range of interior and exterior jobs but started getting more and more appliance repair calls especially for dryers and have gotten to know them very well. The profit margin is great & I've come to prefer doing it over any of the other work I do. I'm in the middle of transitioning to appliance repair only. My business is a LLC, I'm located in South Alabama, I have my license of course as well as insurance etc. Im trying to figure out what licensing if any I need in Alabama for appliance repair. I know most states require some type of appliance repair training but I haven't found anything saying that for Alabama.

South Carolina has no special requirements! It won't be difficult to find out about Alabama. And that's awesome that you are getting them appliance repair calls. It's a really good business. It almost spoils you being able to make that much money and not doing such hard work! Haha 😄

My hold up on appliance business is finding competent employees or subcontractors. Also does Samsung and LG require any vendor requirements to receive their parts or service manuals? Thanks in advance

@theapplianceprofit

Жыл бұрын

I completely understand that about the employees! I try to find younger, but mature people. It seems that the younger guys can adapt quickly to these new electronic appliances. As far as parts, no requirements since you would purchase thru a distributor. As far as manuals, yes and no. If you try to go directly to them for manuals, yes you will have to be authorized, but there are ways around it by going thru 3rd party resources. Appliance manufacturers are some of the most secretive people ever haha. Commercial appliances on the other hand, they are happy to help.

Any tips on where to learn to troubleshoot components from board? Did you take a class or are there videos to watch? Thank you

I own an appliance repair business in Washington state. One question I had for you is what are some programs or courses that you took to step your skills on appliance diagnosing to the next level? I started as a Samsung certified technician then moved on to start my own thing but I’m still struggling with being 100% positive on my diagnostics

@theapplianceprofit

Honestly, in the beginning, I did something that most people won't do. I got my hands on as many different service manuals for as many different appliances possible and I literally studied them. And then I worked on those units and used the manual as my guide. And I got extremely good at it.

I just started a used appliance business (i still have another full time job) but im curious where do bigger companies like your get your pricing. Because 300 of a heating element is insane. I just tell the customer to bring the dryer to me and pay for the part and i will put it in for 100. Some think me prices are low. But i have sole 183 units since march 3 average price per unit 172. And that all from my garage. I undercut all the bigger companies. And my business is spreading alot faster then expected. Be i just dont feel comfortable changing high prices for easy repairs.

We use a flat rate guide. And yes the repair cost is always higher that way but there are many reasons why, one of them reasons being the level of professionalism that we bring to each service call. 99% of our customers are completely happy with the cost

I noticed that you mentioned in another comment that you don't do warrant work anymore. I'm curious to know if there is/are a certain reason(s), such as lower return rates or other obstacles, that resulted in your position. I have considered starting an appliance repair business for a few years. The market in my aredoesn'tnt have much to offer in appliance repair, so it could potentially be a hot market. I have learned on my own for years and know that there are things on the technical side i need to learn, which i am looking into that currently. But the warranty work option is something I'm curious about the pros and cons. Thank you for any insight and/or information you can pass on.

@theapplianceprofit

A couple of the biggest reasons that I don't like doing warranty works is: 1. They usually don't pay that much. In my experience, I can make like 3 times as much doing a regular cod call vs warranty call. 2. Sometimes, you don't get paid at all! The warranty company can reject your claim for the dumbest reasons and simply never pay you. But I do understand that for people starting off, it's a great way to get service calls. You just have to weigh the options.

My biggest struggle with LG and Samsung is there tech sheet are horrid and parts diagrams are also horrid. Any advice would be great. The good thing with there products is that they have the same failures all the time. There usually is not a whammy like Whirlpool crap products. I am also the only one in the area that works on those products but I am going in blind. I worked with just Whirlpool for ten years and now doing my own business and samsung/lg are very big in my area of work.

Yeah their tech sheets and parts breakdowns are not great. But they are honestly fairly easy to work on. Once you get a good understanding of the system, you can test most things from the board and it will tell the story for you. Then you will be killing it!

In your other video, you said Samsung & LG take a month to pay, nickel and dime every repair you do, & often pay only 5 or 600 when you were due 1000. So which is it?
