What are the responsibilities and job description for the Field Appliance & Refrigeration Diagnostics Technician position at Sears Appliance Repair?
A day in the life
Start your morning in Tupper Lake, NY, reviewing your route and parts inventory. By your first appointment, you’re greeting a homeowner, listening closely to the symptoms, and methodically diagnosing the appliance—whether it’s a refrigerator not cooling, a washer off-balance, a dryer not heating, or an oven with uneven temps. You explain the plan, complete the repair, and leave the space as tidy as you found it. Between visits, you log services performed, note parts used, and schedule any follow-ups. Safety is second nature—lockout/tagout procedures and manufacturer guidelines guide your work. Throughout the day, you touch base with teammates to share tips, source tricky parts, and keep service efficiency high.

- Continuous learning to stay current on new models, diagnostic tools, and service bulletins.
