Northern Appliance Repairs

Northern Appliance Repairs in Perth

Northern Appliance Repairs is a whitegoods and appliance repair service covering Perth, with listed service areas including Yanchep, Bullsbrook and Kalamunda. Most searches for Northern Appliance Repairs start the morning a washing machine stops draining or a fridge stops getting cold. Before you book anyone, it is worth working out whether you are paying to repair something or paying someone to confirm it is finished.

Repair or replace: the rough maths

The old rule of thumb still holds up. If the repair costs more than about half the price of a new equivalent, and the appliance is past two thirds of its expected life, replace it. Washing machines and dishwashers typically run eight to twelve years, fridges twelve to fifteen, ovens fifteen or more. A control board on a ten year old machine is usually money thrown after money. A pump, a door seal, a thermostat or an element on that same machine is usually worth doing.

Your rights outlast the manufacturer warranty

Australian Consumer Law gives you a statutory guarantee that goods are of acceptable quality and last a reasonable time given what you paid. That applies whether or not the twelve month warranty has run out. If a $2,000 fridge dies at eighteen months you have a fair argument with the retailer, not just the manufacturer. Keep the receipt and get the repairer fault report in writing, because that report is your evidence.

What to have ready when you ring

The brand, the full model and serial number off the sticker (usually inside the door, behind the kick panel or on the back), the fault code if there is a display, and a plain description of what the machine does rather than what you think is wrong. That lets the technician bring the likely part on the first visit instead of booking a second one. Ask up front what the call out fee is and whether it comes off the repair if you go ahead.
