I'm an engineering student and I was watching a yt video on refrigeration, how refrigerators work and the physics concepts behind it.
I found that quite interesting and it was explained in depth, but I found it lacking in the sense that it was not focusing on each component, how it might break and how could that be fixed, even though it did pose some manufacturer specific issues. And also, with it being a video, it would be hard to refer back to it in the future.
Are there guide books on "trades", like for plumbing, car repair, phone repair or something of the sort? Maybe with common manufacturer specific defects, like how a certain car engine on VW's typically has this set of problems and so on. Or maybe a study on the Industrial Design of X or Y.
The physics books in my country focus too much on the theoretical side of things and too little on the practical applications of physical laws in everyday, let alone contemporary appliances. It seems sometimes just cramping so much stuff into a small product seems to bring unique problems that wouldn't arise in theoretical explications of a device anyways.
I don't know why but I found this kind of content really interesting, and even the way all these appliances function quite smart.
