From Our Job Notes
Repairs We’ve Carried Out in the Inner North
A few real jobs from Inner North homes — what the customer noticed, what was actually wrong, and how it was fixed.
Bosch washing machine, Hackett
What the customer saw: The washing machine displayed E18 and still wouldn’t drain after bobby pins were cleared from the filter.
What we found: The drain pump impeller was working intermittently.
What we did: Replaced the drain pump and tested filling, washing, draining and spinning. The washer tested OK.
Fisher & Paykel washer-dryer, Reid
What the customer saw: The washer-dryer displayed Err13 when starting a drying cycle.
What we found: The thermal cut-off had tripped, and the thermistor was giving erratic readings.
What we did: Reset the thermal cut-off, replaced the thermistor and ran a timed drying cycle. The unit heated and operated correctly.
Westinghouse dishwasher, Watson
What the customer saw: The dishwasher stopped draining and water leaked from the tub.
What we found: The drain spigot was blocked, and further testing showed the drain pump failing under load.
What we did: Cleared the blockage, replaced the drain pump and tested the filling and draining sequence. The dishwasher drained correctly.
Fisher & Paykel fridge, Braddon
What the customer saw: Water was leaking from the freezer section, though it was still cooling and freezing.
What we found: Ice had blocked the freezer drain port and formed a sheet across the freezer base.
What we did: Cleared the ice and drain with steam, then poured water through to confirm it drained away.
Siemens induction cooktop, O’Connor
What the customer saw: The cooktop glass was broken.
What we found: Along with the damaged glass, the active and neutral connections had been wired the wrong way round.
What we did: Replaced the glass, corrected the wiring and tested the heating zones, controls and pan detection. The cooktop tested OK.
Blanco rangehood, Ainslie
What the customer saw: The rangehood motor wasn’t working.
What we found: The lights worked but the motor only hummed, and the motor capacitor gave an excessively high reading.
What we did: Replaced the capacitor and tested the fan from high to low. It ran at every speed.

Who Turns Up
Local Technicians You Can Trust
GBRS has been repairing appliances for Canberra homes since 2015, from a base in Fyshwick. The person at your door is one of our own technicians — not a subcontractor you've never heard of.
The people who turn up
Qualified, and kept current
Our technicians include degree-qualified engineers, electronics specialists, electricians and holders of multiple Cert IV qualifications. They work across the Inner North every week from our Fyshwick base, so there’s no separate “Inner North team” — just the same people who look after the rest of Canberra.
Reviews we don't get to write
Every completed GBRS job triggers a feedback request through ServiceM8, and this feed is what comes back — across every appliance type and brand we repair. We don't write the reviews, pick which ones appear or take any down.
