From Our Job Notes
Repairs We’ve Carried Out in the Inner South
A few real jobs from Inner South homes — what the customer noticed, what was actually wrong, and how it was fixed.
Samsung washing machine, Deakin
What the customer saw: The washing machine tripped the circuit mid-cycle, then every time it was switched on.
What we found: The heating element had earth leakage — with it disconnected, the circuit stopped tripping.
What we did: Replaced the heating element, tested the machine and checked for leaks around the new part. It operated correctly.
Esatto dryer, Griffith
What the customer saw: The dryer’s drum wasn’t turning.
What we found: The drum belt had snapped. The motor and tension wheel checked OK.
What we did: Replaced the drum belt and tested the dryer, including drum rotation and warm air. It operated correctly.
Smeg dishwasher, Kingston
What the customer saw: The dishwasher was dripping at the base.
What we found: A faulty door lock was stopping the door latching properly, which caused the leak.
What we did: Replaced the door lock and tested the dishwasher, which operated correctly.
Samsung fridge, Barton
What the customer saw: Water was leaking from the fridge section.
What we found: The leak was coming from the water tank’s hose connections. The fridge drain was clear.
What we did: Replaced the water tank assembly and hoses, primed the filter and tested for leaks. There were none.
Glem oven, Narrabundah
What the customer saw: The oven door wasn’t closing properly.
What we found: The door hinges were worn.
What we did: Replaced the hinges and tested the door. It closed and sealed properly.
Falmec rangehood, Yarralumla
What the customer saw: The rangehood lights wouldn’t turn on, and there was a clicking sound.
What we found: Power was reaching the lights but they weren’t lighting up. The buttons and all fan speeds worked.
What we did: Replaced the four lights and tested the rangehood. All lights and functions worked correctly.

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 South every week from our Fyshwick base, so there’s no separate “Inner South 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.
