appliance repairman

Device service worker

An appliance repairman is someone who fixes household machines like refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, and ovens.

The term is giving way to gender-neutral alternatives like appliance repair technician, though repairman remains common in casual speech: The appliance repairman said the compressor was shot.
