Dyer Appliance Academy is one of a very limited number of options for R600 refrigerant training. At our R600 school, technicians will be trained on the differences between R134a and R600 systems and will learn how to properly and safely diagnose and repair those units utilizing Vulkan’s Lokring system. Requests for service on R600 systems is on the rise as these units age. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be one of the few service providers able to answer these requests. Our R600 refrigerant training will prepare you do so.
