To install or repair your items, an appliance technician will visit your home or property. The exact inclusions with your appliance service will depend on the item you need installed or repaired. Here are some of the most popular appliance care services and what you can expect when booking your technician:
Fridges and freezers
You’ll need to book fridge repairs and installations if you need a complex fridge or freezer installation or it isn’t cooling properly, makes weird noises, or leaks. Your appliance technician can help with quick fixes like fridge door repairs (so it shuts properly and keeps the cold in) through to more serious issues with the thermostat, motor, or refrigeration gasses. Before they arrive, you’ll need to remove food and store it in a cool box or bag. To work safely on your fridge or freezer, your technician will turn off the electricity. Then they’ll fix or install your item using appliance-friendly tools, like screwdrivers, cleaning brushes, ratchets, or a refrigeration manifold gauge (to check the gas pressure and flow). When the service is complete they’ll turn your fridge or freezer back on and let you know when you can start using it again.
Ovens and stoves
Appliance technicians have the skills to work on a range of oven repair and installation tasks in both domestic and commercial kitchens. Common appliance care services are gas oven installation, microwave repair, rangehood installation, and electric stove connections. Your licenced electrician or gas fitter will troubleshoot the problem according to your oven’s instructions. When they know what the problem is, they’ll turn off the gas or electricity and work to fix or install your item. If you’ve got a new oven or stove top for installation and need the old one taken away, your appliance service might be able to help with this, as well.
Dishwasher repairs and installations
An appliance technician will plumb in your dishwasher and, if requested, take your old one to the tip. Already got a dishwasher, but it’s playing up? Common problems include dishes are coming out dirty, an electrical fault causing the cycle to cut short (or go on too long), or your dishwashers not draining. You can hire a dishwasher technician to help get it fixed and running smoothly again.
Washing machines and dryers
A professional installation of your washing machine or dryer protects against faults - ensuring everything is level and properly filling and draining. But it’s still possible for your machine to break down - electrical errors can stop cycles from finishing or a dodgy door might hold your clothes to ransom. A washing machine technician will plumb-in in and service your washer or dryer correctly, so you don’t have to worry. And if you’ve got an old machine you want rid of, you can request a washing machine removal service, too. In some cases your technician may strip the old machine for parts or recondition it, which may lower the cost of your job.
Appliance installations
As well as whitegoods, appliance technicians can install and repair other electrical systems. Get help with security camera systems, install an electric garage door, or even get your electrical gym equipment set up. They’ll use the right tools and equipment to properly install your appliance and ensure it’s working smoothly, and that you know how to operate it.
