Yes, we aim to provide same-day repair service whenever possible, especially for urgent washing machine, dryer, or dishwasher repairs in Melbourne and surrounding suburbs — if we have availability on the day.

We specialize in repairing washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers of all major brands and models in Melbourne.

We understand that cost is a major factor, which is why we believe in transparent, upfront pricing. The final cost of a repair for your washing machine, dryer, or dishwasher will depend on two main factors:

Our flat-rate call-out fee: This fee covers the cost of our local Melbourne technician coming to your home, diagnosing the problem, and providing a detailed, no-obligation quote.

The cost of parts and labour: Once we've diagnosed the issue (e.g., a faulty pump on your Bosch dishwasher or a broken belt on your LG dryer), we'll provide a clear, fixed-price quote for the total job. You'll know the full cost before any repair work begins, so there are never any surprises.

While we can't give an exact price without a diagnosis, most common repairs for washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers in Melbourne typically fall within the $150 - $350 range, including parts and labour. For complex issues or premium brands like Miele or Asko, the cost may be higher.

Our goal is always to provide a cost-effective solution, and we will advise you honestly if a repair is not economical compared to the cost of a new appliance. To get an accurate quote for your specific repair, simply call us today!

We provide fast and reliable repairs for washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers across many Melbourne suburbs.

we’ve seen all the usual suspects. Below are the most common washing machine issues we fix every week:

Not spinning – This is often caused by a broken belt, motor fault, or door switch issue. LG and Samsung machines may flash error codes like UE (unbalanced load) or LE (motor lock error).

Not draining – If water is stuck in the drum, it could be a blocked hose or faulty drain pump. Bosch machines often show E18, while Samsung may display 5C or OE.

Leaking water – A cracked hose, damaged seal, or loose connection is usually the issue. LG machines can trigger the AE error when they detect a leak.

Too much vibration or shaking – This is often due to unbalanced loads or worn suspension. Some brands (like Samsung) display UB or DC error codes.

Weird noises during the cycle – Grinding, banging, or high-pitched whining sounds often point to issues with the bearings, motor, or drum. These faults may not always trigger an error code right away, but we see them often in older Bosch and Beko models.

Overfilling or underfilling with water – This could be a sensor or inlet valve fault. LG may display FE (overfill), while Samsung often uses 4E or nF for fill problems.

Won’t turn on – If your washer isn’t starting at all, it could be a door latch issue, control board fault, or blown fuse. Brands like Beko or Bosch may show E35 or E21 in some cases.

Bad smells or mouldy odour – This usually comes from detergent buildup, dirt, or mould inside the drum. We offer full internal cleans that eliminate odour and help prevent future build-up.

Flashing error codes or faulty display – Modern washers like LG, Samsung, Bosch and Miele often display codes like DE, FL, or E23. These help us diagnose problems faster and get your machine back in action.

Whether you’re in the inner suburbs or outer Melbourne, we service all major brands including LG, Samsung, Bosch, Miele, Beko, Asko, and more. Our technicians come to you with the right tools and parts to fix the problem properly.

***Disclaimer: In many cases, a single fault in your washing machine can trigger multiple error codes. Some error messages may appear due to related underlying issues, so diagnosing the root cause is essential for an accurate repair. ***

It really depends on the situation, but here are a few key things to consider:

Cost of the repair vs a new dryer: As a general rule, if the repair costs less than half the price of a new dryer, it’s usually worth fixing.

Age of the dryer: If your dryer’s still fairly new or under warranty, repairing it makes more sense. But if it’s 10+ years old and keeps breaking down, it might be smarter (and cheaper in the long run) to replace it.

How serious is the issue? Small problems like a worn-out belt, blocked vent, or faulty door switch are quick and affordable to sort out. But if it’s something major like a motor or control board, a replacement might be more cost-effective.

Energy efficiency: Newer dryers are more energy-efficient and often come with handy features like moisture sensors — which can save you cash on your power bills over time.

Still not sure what to do? Give us a buzz. One of our local Melbourne technicians can take a look and help you work out whether it’s worth repairing — or if it’s time to upgrade.

If your clothes are still damp after a full cycle, here’s what might be going on — and what you can do:

Blocked lint filter or vent: Clean the lint filter and check the vent hose for blockages. Poor airflow is the most common cause.

Too many clothes: Don’t overload the dryer — air needs space to circulate.

Heating issues: If it’s not getting hot enough, the heating element or thermostat might need replacing.

Dirty moisture sensor: Wipe it down with a damp cloth. If that doesn’t help, it could need replacing.

Time for a service: If you’ve cleaned the filter and vents and it’s still not drying properly, it might need a professional deep clean or service. Lint build-up inside the machine can affect performance and even cause safety issues.

Give us a call — we’ll get it sorted and give your dryer the full check-up it needs.
