Best appliance repair in Mandurah and the Peel (2026)
Table of Contents
Mandurah town centre, Halls Head and Silver Sands, Greenfields and Erskine, and Dawesville at the southern end of the estuary: this page covers the City of Mandurah, with Pinjarra and the wider Peel swept as well. Appliance repair is a van trade, needs no licence in Western Australia for whitegoods, and most operators who work here publish a phone number and a radius rather than a street. Two searches across Mandurah and the Peel surfaced 25 listings worth assessing. Three publish a street in the catchment, are categorised by Google as appliance or refrigerator repairers, clear the rating floor and work for households, and all three are in the City of Mandurah. Three is the minimum this site will publish a ranking on, and this page says so up front. The rest are named below with the reason each is not ranked.
Want this position?
The longest review record in Mandurah searches is not on this list, and it is off it on address rather than on quality. Apptech services at 4.9 from 95 reviews, weighted 4.6949, publishes no street. FixUp Appliance Service at 4.9 from 54, weighted 4.6403, and Turnaround Appliance Repairs at 4.9 from 39, weighted 4.6122, publish none either. A paid placement is the route onto this page for an operator that works out of a van rather than a unit.
See placement optionsLicensed To Chill
Licensed To Chill holds 5.0 from 19 reviews and its place page publishes a street address on Sutton Street in Mandurah. Weighted 4.5798, which is 0.0550 clear of second.
Read the scope before calling. Its Google category is refrigerator repair service, but its own website describes a refrigeration mechanic working mainly for businesses: cool room servicing, freezer repairs and cooling installations, with 24-hour call-outs across the Peel. Its reviews do include smaller private jobs, a bar fridge and a marine fridge among them, which is why it is ranked rather than set aside, but this is a fridge, freezer and cool room call, not a washing machine or oven one. Two more things. The name is a pun, not a credential: this page has not checked any licence and makes no claim about one, so for refrigerant work ask for the ARC licence number and check it yourself. And Google local results also show a second Licensed To Chill listing at 5.0 from 20 reviews with no street; the two records are not added together, and this page ranks the addressed listing only.
See placement optionsPauls Fridge and Washer Service
Pauls Fridge and Washer Service holds 4.6 from 33 reviews from Merredin Heights in Dawesville, at the southern end of the City of Mandurah. Weighted 4.5248, and 0.0056 clear of third, which is close to the point where the order stops meaning much.
Of the three ranked operators this is the most straightforward household call. Its website describes in-home repairs on fridges, freezers and washing machines across all major brands, for Mandurah and the surrounding area, and the Dawesville street on its place page matches the address on the site. It does not mention ovens, cooktops or dishwashers, so ask first if that is the job. The site makes no licence claim and neither does this page.
See placement optionsJust Repairs
Just Repairs holds 5.0 from 4 reviews and its place page publishes a street address on Collier Street in Silver Sands, just south of the Mandurah town centre. Weighted 4.5192.
It is ranked because it clears every test the page applies: a place-page street in the catchment, a Google category of appliance repair service, a rating above the floor and more than two reviews. It is also the thinnest record here. Four reviews is too few to say much, the listing carries no website, and nothing published says which appliances it covers. Ring and ask what it fixes before booking, and treat the perfect score as a small sample rather than a verdict.
See placement optionsWhy the list stops at three
An operator is ranked here only if it clears four tests at once: a rating of at least 4.3, more than two reviews, a street address published on its own Google listing, and a Google category that actually says appliance or refrigerator repair. A fifth test applied on this page: the business has to do household work, because that is who this page is for. Three operators in Mandurah clear all of them. As in every other catchment, almost nobody fails on rating. They fail on address.
Rockingham and Kwinana were swept the same morning for a page of their own and produced no addressed general repairer above the floor, so there is no Rockingham page. Mandurah is thin but real: three operators with a street, each doing something slightly different.
The operators with no published address, named
Each listing below is categorised by Google as an appliance repairer and would be rankable the moment it published a street. Several are metro-wide mobile operators that turn up in Mandurah searches rather than Mandurah businesses. They are named because a reader who wants the longest review record rather than the most verifiable one should still be able to find them.
Apptech services — 4.9 from 95 reviews, weighted 4.6949. Category appliance repair service; place page opened this run: a website but no street address, and a pin well inland, east of Pinjarra. On score alone it would have ranked first here. A second listing, Appliance repair services, shares its phone number and carries 4.5 from 2 reviews; the two are not added together.
FixUp Appliance Service — 4.9 from 54 reviews, weighted 4.6403. Category appliance repair service; no street address on its place page, opened for the Fremantle page on 20 October.
Turnaround Appliance Repairs — 4.9 from 39 reviews, weighted 4.6122. Category appliance repair service; no street on its search card. Not resolved on a place page, so nothing more is claimed.
North Coast Appliance Repairs — 5.0 from 27 reviews, weighted 4.6063. Category appliance repair service; no street on its search card. Not resolved on a place page.
WA Appliance Repairs — 4.9 from 36 reviews, weighted 4.6059. Category appliance repair service; place page opened this run: no street address, and a pin well north of Mandurah.
Zodiac Appliances — 4.3 from 21 reviews, weighted 4.4653. Category washer and dryer repair service; place page opened this run: a website but no street address, and a pin well north of Mandurah.
Metro-wide operators that also surfaced, all with no street on their place pages when checked for earlier pages in this series: Fair Price Dishwashers 5.0 from 320 (weighted 4.8810), Right Whitegoods 4.9 from 282 (4.7953), CAI Appliance Services 4.8 from 423 (4.7426), AGB Appliances 5.0 from 63, Mate Appliance Repairs 4.7 from 115 and Modern Appliance Repairs 4.9 from 34. Northern Appliance Repairs, 4.8 from 45, has not been resolved on a place page. Innovative Appliance Repairs, 5.0 from 31, is marked temporarily closed on Google.
Addressed, but not ranked
Perth Electrical and Mechanical Services, 4.9 from 17 reviews, has a unit on Quarry Way in Greenfields and a Google category of appliance repair service. On score it would have ranked second here, weighted 4.5581. Its own website says it works on commercial food equipment for “commercial premises only”: combi ovens, commercial dishwashers, fryers, cool rooms. That is a good thing to know if you run a kitchen, and the wrong call for a household oven, so it is named rather than ranked.
Complete Refrigeration and Air, 5.0 from 18, also lists Greenfields, but Google categorises it as an air conditioning contractor, which is a different trade. The Good Guys Mandurah is a retailer.
Listings below the floor
Coastal Washer and Dryer Repairs, 4.1 from 35 reviews with an Erskine locality on its search card, weighted 4.3963, and Essential Aircor Services, 3.9 from 24 in Mandurah, weighted 4.3839, both sit below the 4.3 floor. Mandurah Appliance Repairs, 3.5 from 2, and Dishwasher Repair Specialists Mandurah, 3.3 from 3, are below it too. They are named for completeness rather than ranked.
What is actually licensed in Western Australia
There is no appliance repairer’s licence in Western Australia. Fixing a washing machine, an oven, a dryer or a dishwasher is not a licensed occupation, there is no register of appliance technicians to check a trading name against, and an operator advertising itself as a “licensed appliance repairer” in this state is describing something that does not exist. A trading name with “licensed” in it is a name, nothing more.
What is licensed is refrigerant, and it is licensed federally rather than by the state. The Australian Refrigeration Council, which issues refrigerant handling licences, says a licence is required for any activity involving a risk of a refrigerant emission, and for servicing or maintaining refrigeration and air conditioning equipment whether or not refrigerant is present. Its licence-types page, read for this page on 21 October 2026, lists RDR04 as the restricted class for domestic refrigeration and air conditioning appliances, with a note that it does not cover split-system air conditioners, and RAC01 as the full class covering all refrigeration and air conditioning work outside the automotive industry.
So the gate here is split down the middle of the trade:
| Job | Licence required | How to check it |
|---|---|---|
| Washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, oven, cooktop, microwave | None | No register exists — review record and a verifiable address are what is left |
| Fridge, freezer or cool room work that risks a refrigerant emission | Refrigerant handling licence (RDR04 for domestic appliances, RAC01 for everything else) | ARC business search, by sector and postcode |
| Split-system air conditioning | Refrigerant handling licence that covers split systems (RDR04 does not) | ARC business search, by sector and postcode |
| Replacing a fridge door seal, shelf or light | None — the sealed system is not opened | As above, nothing to check |
The ARC runs a public business search by sector and suburb or postcode. It is worth using before booking fridge work. It is not what this page ranks on: it searches by location rather than by business name, so a listing cannot be confirmed against a specific trading name from the outside, and it covers only the refrigerant half of the trade. No claim is made anywhere on this page about whether any operator listed holds an ARC licence. Check it yourself for fridge and air conditioning work.
What to ask before booking
Do you do household work, and this appliance? In Mandurah it is the first question rather than a formality: the three ranked operators cover a cool-room specialist, a fridge-and-washer repairer and a generalist whose scope is not published.
Is there a call-out fee, and does it come off the repair? The commonest billing surprise in this trade, and in a catchment this spread out, ask whether Dawesville or Pinjarra costs more than the town centre.
Do you carry the part, or is it order-and-return? A second visit is the difference between a one-day fix and a fortnight without a washing machine.
What is the warranty on the part and on the labour? These are often different lengths. Get both in writing.
Will you tell me if it is not worth repairing? A technician who will say “replace it” before charging for a repair is the one worth keeping.
For fridge or air conditioning work, what is your ARC licence number? The only licensing question in this trade with a real answer. For an oven or a washing machine there is nothing to ask.
How this list was built
Weighted score, not raw stars. Each operator is scored with a Bayesian average that pulls a small sample toward the category mean of 4.5, so 4.6 from 33 reviews and 5.0 from 4 land within a few thousandths of each other. Read the order of second and third as close to a tie.
Two searches across Mandurah and the Peel. An appliance repair sweep centred on Mandurah and a washing machine, dishwasher, oven and fridge sweep across Halls Head, Pinjarra and Mandurah. The same names came back across both.
Every ranked place page opened. Ratings, review counts, addresses and categories for the three ranked operators were read off their own Google place pages on 21 October 2026, along with four of the near misses. Search cards are unreliable in both directions: a missing street on a card is not proof there is none.
Own websites read. Each ranked operator’s website, where it has one, was read on 21 October 2026 for what it actually repairs, and that is how a commercial-only operator came off the list.
Address verified, not assumed. An operator is only ranked if a street address appears on its own Google listing. A phone number and a service area is not an address.
Duplicates kept apart. Where one business runs two Google listings, the review counts are reported separately and never added together, and the business is ranked once.
Regulation read from the regulator. The licensing section was read from the Australian Refrigeration Council’s own pages on 21 October 2026, not from memory or a summary.
Nothing here was paid for. Placement on this list cannot be bought; paid placements are labelled FEATURED and sit outside the ranking.
Questions homeowners ask
Do appliance repairers need a licence in WA?
Not for whitegoods. Washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, cooktops and microwaves are not licensed work in Western Australia and there is no register of appliance technicians. Refrigerant is the exception: work on a fridge, freezer or air conditioner that risks a refrigerant emission needs a refrigerant handling licence from the Australian Refrigeration Council.
Does “Licensed To Chill” mean the business is licensed?
The name is a trading name. This page has not checked any operator against a licence register and makes no claim either way. For refrigerant work, ask any technician for their ARC licence number and check it.
Why only three?
Because only three appliance repairers in the catchment publish a street on their Google listing, clear the 4.3 floor and work for households. Several operators with longer review records are named above; they publish no street, so they cannot be checked from the outside.
Is a business without a published address a worse choice?
No. In this trade it is the norm rather than a warning sign, and the operator with the longest review record in Mandurah searches is one of them. It simply cannot be checked from the outside, and this list only ranks what can be.
How much does an appliance repair cost in Mandurah?
There is no reliable single figure, which is why this page carries no price table. A call-out fee plus labour plus the part is the usual structure, and the part is what moves the total most. Ask whether the call-out comes off the repair, and get the part price before authorising the work.
Can I replace a fridge door seal myself?
Often, yes. A door seal is not part of the sealed refrigerant system, so no refrigerant licence is involved. Regassing, repairing a leak or replacing a compressor is refrigerant work and needs a licensed technician.
Run an appliance repair business in Mandurah or the Peel?
The operators named above but not ranked are off this page for one reason: no street address on their own Google listing. Publishing one is free and it is the single change that makes a business rankable here. Other catchments have their own pages: Joondalup and the northern suburbs, Belmont, Cannington and the south-east and Fremantle, Melville and Cockburn.
See placement options Browse the directoryLast updated 21 October 2026. Ratings and review counts were read from Google search results and Maps on 21 October 2026; addresses and Google categories for the ranked operators were read from their place pages that day, and the address status of some unranked listings was read on 19 or 20 October 2026. All will drift; the weighted scores are calculated from those figures and nothing else. Licensing statements are read from the Australian Refrigeration Council’s pages. The absence of a published address, and a Google category other than appliance repair, are both reported as at the date checked and are not statements about any operator’s conduct or quality.
