Based on the findings of my study, I learned how the technician repair all
the defective appliances and their strategies to make the operation fast, and also
I learned how they perform all they practice in repairing the appliances. It also
gave me an idea on how to develop my skills in repairing, and also how to repair
appliances in a safe way. The research that I did was very important because
there was information that can help people wanted to know the practices of the
electronic.
I would like to suggest that we should learn all the practices of the

know how to repair appliances because we know all the electronic device can
