How to hire a appliance repair pro in Australia

  1. Note the model number and fault before requesting quotes
  2. Ask the call-out fee ($80-$180 metro) and whether it includes diagnosis or first 30 minutes
  3. For fridge/freezer regas or sealed-system work, the technician must hold an ARC (Australian Refrigeration Council) refrigerant handling licence — ask for the licence number
  4. Any repair touching fixed wiring requires a state-licensed electrician; plug-in appliance repair itself may also require an electrical work licence in some states (e.g. QLD)
  5. Gas appliance repair requires a licensed gasfitter under state law (e.g. VBA in Victoria, Fair Trading NSW)
  6. Check the repairer's warranty on parts and labour (3-12 months) and get it on the invoice
  7. If the appliance failed prematurely, check Australian Consumer Law rights against the retailer before paying — 'consumer guarantees' apply beyond the manufacturer warranty

Refrigerant handling in Australia legally requires an ARC licence (checkable on the ARCtick register), gas appliance work requires a state-licensed gasfitter, and electrical work is licensed state-by-state. Australian Consumer Law guarantees may make the retailer liable for premature failures regardless of the manufacturer's warranty period.

Appliance Repair cost guide for Australia

Frequently asked questions

How much does appliance repair cost?

Most single-appliance repairs land between the cost of one to three hours of labor plus parts. Expect a call-out or diagnostic fee first, then a quote. Simple fixes (belts, seals, thermostats) sit at the low end; sealed-system work like a fridge compressor can cost more than half the price of a new machine.

Why is my fridge not cooling, and is it expensive to fix?

Cheap causes: blocked vents, failed door seal, dusty condenser coils, or a faulty thermostat. Expensive causes: compressor or refrigerant leak — sealed-system repairs need a certified refrigeration technician and often cost more than a mid-range replacement fridge. Get a diagnosis before assuming the worst.

What information should I give when booking an appliance repair?

Brand, model number (on a sticker inside the door or on the back), the exact symptom, any error code on the display, and the appliance's age. A model number lets the technician bring the likely part on the first visit, often saving a second call-out.

Do repair technicians charge more for built-in or integrated appliances?

Often yes, by 10-30%. Integrated appliances take extra time to de-panel and extract from cabinetry, and access is tighter. Mention that the appliance is built-in when booking so the quote and time estimate are realistic.

What does an appliance repair call-out cost in Australia?

Metro call-out fees typically run $80-$180, often including diagnosis. Common washing machine and dishwasher repairs total $150-$400; sealed-system fridge repairs can exceed $600, at which point a new unit is often the better spend.

Does my appliance repairer need an ARC licence?

Only if the work involves the refrigerant circuit — regassing, compressor or evaporator work on fridges, freezers or air conditioners. It's a legal requirement; you can verify any licence number on the ARCtick website. General mechanical repairs (pumps, belts, seals) don't need it.
