I have a motorized window roller shutter stuck in the fully closed position. It caught on an open window.

Ground floor window with easy access from the outside. Flexible with timing over the weekend or next few days.

Dishwasher fix and maintenance
$100
Essendon VIC, Australia

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!
