Fix Jammed Motorised Roller Shutter (Broken Hanger Straps)
$180
Essendon VIC 3040, Australia
17th Jul 2026
I have a motorized window roller shutter stuck in the fully closed position. It caught on an open window. The motor still runs and spins fine, but it’s not catching the slats to pull the shutter up (suspect broken hanger straps/springs inside the box). Need an experienced handyman or shutter specialist to open the headbox, replace whatever is broken/disconnected, and secure it back up. The headbox cover is currently riveted shut. Ground floor window with easy access from the outside. Flexible with timing over the weekend or next few days. Please let me know if you carry spare shutter straps/parts or if you need me to grab anything. Thanks!

Dishwasher fix and maintenance
$100
Essendon VIC, Australia
1st Jun 2026
Hi Airtaskers! Unfortunately the dishwasher is not functioning properly. During operation, the dishwasher produces normal motor sounds; however, at the end of each cycle, the dishes remain unclean and a small amount of water is left at the bottom of the unit. Additionally, water was observed on the floor on one occasion. The dishwasher is a Westinghouse and probably close to 10 years old. Seeking a handy man to inspect and repair any obvious issues.
Great communication. Highly recommend!
