From Our Job Notes

Repairs We’ve Carried Out in Weston Creek & Molonglo

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

Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer, Coombs

What the customer saw: Both drawers displayed A6, and parts were coming loose from the wash pumps.

What we found: The rotor motors in both drawers were falling apart.

What we did: Replaced both rotor motors and tested both drawers. They washed and drained correctly with no errors.

Franke induction cooktop, Denman Prospect

What the customer saw: The cooktop displayed an FE error.

What we found: Testing confirmed an FE16 communication error.

What we did: Replaced the control board and interlink cable, then tested the cooktop. All cooking zones worked with no errors.

Fisher & Paykel fridge, Holder

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

What we found: The freezer drain had frozen over, and the freezer door rails were slightly misaligned.

What we did: Steamed the ice from the drain tray and opening, added a wire extension from the defrost heater into the drain, and adjusted the door rail. Water flowed to the rear drain tray and the door closed evenly.

Hisense heat pump dryer, Rivett

What the customer saw: The dryer displayed F08.

What we found: The drum wasn’t spinning because of a motor fault.

What we did: Replaced the motor and tested the dryer, which spun and heated correctly.

Fisher & Paykel washing machine, Weston

What the customer saw: The washing machine went out of balance with heavier loads.

What we found: The drum was excessively bouncy, from worn suspension rods.

What we did: Replaced the suspension rods and tested a rinse and spin with a heavy load. The machine operated correctly.

Before You Book

Weston Creek & Molonglo Appliance Repair Questions

Yes — every suburb in Weston Creek and the Molonglo Valley, from Duffy and Waramanga through to Coombs, Wright and Denman Prospect. The full list is under Do We Service Your Suburb?

No. All of Weston Creek & Molonglo 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.

Yes — tell us when you book. A wall-mounted dryer usually has to come down for repair, which can take two people, and we’ve found mountings with broken wall spacers and missing support screws. If the brackets or spacers look loose or damaged, mention it so we can plan for refitting the dryer safely. The same applies to a dryer stacked on the washing machine, and to anything else that makes an appliance hard to get out — stairs, a tight cavity, or a kick panel that’s been glued or siliconed in place.

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