Appliantology is an invaluable resource for working appliance repair technicians, providing service manuals and datasheets, continuing education technical training, and a community of thousands who have your back whenever you need help or have questions. To maintain the quality of our community and keep it ad-free, we do charge an annual fee of $297 for our Professional Appliantologist membership, which unlocks all that Appliantology has to offer, including tech-only help forums and unthrottled, lighting-fast downloads. How to Save Money on Your Membership Empowering technicians has been our mission from day one, so we’ve made it possible to enjoy all the benefits of the Professional Appliantologist membership for FREE. All you need to do is enroll in the online appliance repair training courses at the Master Samurai Tech Academy. Why? The more master technicians who are active on Appliantology, the more useful Appliantology is for all of its members, you included. Here’s how membership works for students: After you enroll in any of our technical courses, you will receive a free 6-month Professional Appliantologist membership. Even after your 6 months are up, you’ll have earned a lifetime discount on your Professional Appliantologist membership. You can purchase your membership at any time, and cancel at any time. The current discount is $100 off, for an annual fee of $197. Want a Free Annual Membership? There are currently two ways to earn a free annual premium tech membership: Earning your certification in the Core Appliance Repair course at Master Samurai Tech Earning your Master Certification at the Mr. Appliance Academy Once you receive your certification, contact us for your free premium membership. To maintain your free membership indefinitely, all you need to do is stay active and contribute to the community. We know techs like flowcharts, so here's one that summarizes how memberships work. A Quick Recap 1. Professional Appliantologist: the easy, instant premium membership for $297 per year. Provides access to our tech-only help forums; unthrottled, lightning fast downloads; on-demand webinar recordings, and more. 2. Membership for MST Students: this free premium membership provides the same benefits as a Professional Appliantologist membership and lasts for 6 months. It is included with enrollment in any of our technical courses at Master Samurai Tech. This is a one-time membership, but even after it expires, you’ll have earned a lifetime discount on your Professional Appliantologist membership (currently $100 off). 3. Membership for Certified MST Alumni: this free premium membership provides the same benefits as a Professional Appliantologist membership, but it can be renewed for free indefinitely. It is earned by getting certified in the Core Appliance Repair course at the Master Samurai Tech Academy, or by earning Master Certification at the Mr. Appliance Academy. Every Appliantology tech membership also ensures two things that very few other sites out there do: no ads and no data harvesting. We strive to provide our members with an uncluttered, ad-free experience, and during your stay at the Appliantology forums, absolutely none of your personal data or the content you create will be collected for our own or any other company's purposes.

Come join our growing team at Mr. Appliance of Greater St. Louis (eastern Missouri) and Mr. Appliance of Mid-America (southwest Illinois) that are locally owned and operated. We offer a full range of benefits (Medical, Dental, Disability, PTO, Holidays... just to name a few) and competitive compensation! Please email your resume or inquire to midamerica@mrappliance.com.

I've added a new calendar to the site called the SAMURAI TECH ACADEMY WEB CLASSROOM. I'm using it to announce upcoming webinars. The webinars can be technical training presentations put on by the Samurai Tech Academy or webinars showing how to use features and functions of Appliantology. This calendar can only be seen by tech members here at Appliantology.org. Look for new events toward the bottom of the RH column on the homepage of the site. You can also click into the Calendar section of the site (below the logo, up top) and then select "Samurai Tech Academy Web Classroom" in the pulldown menu beside the month (it defaults to Birthdays).
