From Our Job Notes

Repairs We’ve Carried Out in Belconnen

A few real jobs from Belconnen homes — what the customer noticed, what was actually wrong, and how it was fixed.

LG washing machine, Evatt

What the customer saw: The washing machine displayed an OE drainage error.

What we found: The drain pump was faulty. The drain spigot was clear.

What we did: Replaced the drain pump and tested the washer’s operation, including draining and spinning, with no leaks from the new pump.

Bosch dishwasher, Dunlop

What the customer saw: The dishwasher displayed an E15 error.

What we found: Water was leaking from the diverter valve into the base of the dishwasher.

What we did: Replaced the diverter valve and checked filling, washing, heating, draining and leaks. The dishwasher tested OK.

Simpson dryer, Bruce

What the customer saw: The dryer was not spinning.

What we found: The capacitor measured too low. The belt, pulley, motor and rear bearing tested OK.

What we did: Took the dryer down from the wall, replaced the capacitor and tested it, confirming it spun and heated.

Fisher & Paykel fridge, McKellar

What the customer saw: Water was leaking from the freezer.

What we found: A blockage in the freezer drain pan had caused it to ice over.

What we did: Cleared the ice and blockage with a steamer, checked water flowed to the rear drain pan and confirmed the fridge tested OK.

Franke oven, Strathnairn

What the customer saw: A popping sound on the grill setting, then the circuit breaker tripped and the oven would not turn on.

What we found: The main circuit board had a burnt track.

What we did: Replaced the main circuit board and tested the oven on full oven mode. The oven tested OK.

ILVE rangehood, Cook

What the customer saw: The fan would not run, and the lights flickered on briefly but would not stay on.

What we found: The button board buzzed and the fan relay would not stay engaged. The button board and power module were faulty.

What we did: Replaced the button board and power module, then confirmed the lights and all four fan speeds worked.

Examples from individual jobs. Similar symptoms can have different causes; diagnosis confirms the repair required.

What We Repair

Appliance Services & Brands in Belconnen

All carried out at your home or property. Each service page covers common faults, costs and what to expect.

Microwaves, vacuums, air fryers and KitchenAid mixers are repaired at our Fyshwick workshop rather than in your home — see small appliance repairs. Running a business laundry? See commercial laundry repairs.

Brands

Recent Belconnen jobs have included LG, Bosch, Simpson, Fisher & Paykel, Franke and ILVE appliances — and we work on most other brands sold in Australia, as long as parts are still available for the model.

As an authorised service agent, we also carry out warranty repairs in Belconnen homes for manufacturers including Fisher & Paykel, Franke and Hisense. View all brands we repair.

Qualified, and kept current

Our technicians include degree-qualified engineers, electronics specialists, electricians and holders of multiple Cert IV qualifications. They work across Belconnen every week from our Fyshwick base, so there’s no separate “Belconnen team” — just the same people who look after the rest of Canberra.

Before You Book

Belconnen Appliance Repair Questions

Yes — every suburb in the district, including the newer suburbs of Strathnairn and Macnamara out past Holt and Macgregor. The full list is under Do We Service Your Suburb?

No. All of Belconnen is within about 30 minutes of our Fyshwick base, so there’s no travel fee and you can book online with live availability.

Yes. If your building has an intercom or secure entry, add a mobile number and any access instructions to your booking — if the buzzer isn’t reliable, say so and we’ll call on arrival. If we can’t get in or reach you, the visit has to be rebooked.

Often, yes. If a part has to be ordered, we book a return visit to fit it, with no second Service Call Fee — only minimum labour. If you already know which part your appliance needs, tell us when you book and we can order it ahead of the appointment.

No. Washing machines, dishwashers, fridges, dryers, ovens, cooktops and rangehoods are repaired in your home. Only portable appliances — microwaves, vacuums, air fryers and similar — come to our Fyshwick workshop, under our small appliance repair service.

Tell us when you book. To reach the washing machine we may need to lift the dryer down, and on some installations that takes two people, so knowing in advance lets us plan the visit. The same goes for anything that makes an appliance hard to reach — stairs, tight cabinetry, or a rangehood duct running into the roof.

Yes. We repair appliances in rental properties across Belconnen on behalf of property managers, and arrange access with the tenant directly. See appliance repairs for property managers.
