What to know about Appliance repair
Appliance repair covers the machines a household notices only when they stop: the fridge that stops holding temperature, the washing machine that will not drain, the dryer that runs cold, the dishwasher that leaks, and the oven or cooktop that will not heat. Most faults come down to a handful of parts — a pump, a door seal, a thermostat, a control board, a heating element — and most are worth repairing if the appliance is otherwise sound and parts are still made.

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Type and make of appliance
- The part that has failed and whether it's in stock
- Diagnostic or service call fee
- Built-in or hard-to-reach installation
- Gas, water or venting connections
- Same-day or after-hours service
How to choose appliance repair technicians in Fawkner
- Choose a technician who services your type and make of appliance, and ask whether they carry common parts.
- Ask what the diagnostic or service call fee is and whether it's applied to the repair.
- For gas stoves, dryers or other gas appliances, use a technician licensed for gas work in your area.
- Ask for the repair estimate before any work starts, so you can decide whether it's worth repairing.
- Check what the warranty covers on parts and labour after the repair.
Questions to ask appliance repair technicians before you hire
- Do you service this type and make of appliance?
- What is your diagnostic or service call fee, and is it credited toward the repair?
- Is it worth repairing, given the appliance's age and condition?
- Will you need to order parts, and how long will that take?
- Are you licensed for gas appliance work in my area?
- What warranty do you give on parts and labour?
Appliance repair permits in Victoria
Some appliance repair work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
Licensing in Victoria
Gas and fuel-burning appliances
Gas is its own licensed class, not something a general plumber picks up: Energy Safe Victoria tells consumers to always use a licensed gasfitter for any installation, repairs or renovations involving gas work, and the Victorian Building Authority administers the licensing and registration system for plumbers and gasfitters. The piece homeowners most often miss is the paperwork — after installing a gas appliance, the licensed gasfitter must give you a compliance certificate. Keep it: it is what obliges them to come back and fix a defective installation.

How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
