Heavy Hitters Training Session Scores Big

The Electrolux classroom session was filled with more than a lecture and presentation. For the first 30 minutes, participants learned first-hand from an Electrolux engineer turned product specialist about new dishwasher and dryer technology and cutting-edge design features in new Electrolux models. Once everyone was up-to-speed, a friendly competition ensued among the attendees. Their goal, to reverse a door on an Electrolux dryer as fast as possible. Going into the final classroom session, the time to beat was just over five minutes. Six contestants went head to head using only a manual screwdriver and a power driver. The competition was fierce and often times comical. If you think it’s easy – you try reversing a dryer door with Electrolux professionals as well as your own peers lurking over your shoulder! In the end, the best times came from the two competitors Jeff Schiller and Jason Youngrepresenting Young Appliance in Alpena, Michigan. Both blew away the five-minute mark set by their predecessors.

In the end, fun was had by all and more than that, break-out sessions like this one provided a great learning experience for all in attendance.
