Appliance repairs in Wollongong, done at your place
Snap Repairs is Wollongong-based and owner-run. Tyson repairs washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and fridges at your home across Wollongong, the Illawarra and the Shoalhaven. Open Mon–Fri 9am–5pm; book online any time and we confirm by text. The diagnostic is $129 close in ($169 further out), then a fixed repair price quoted before we start.
Wollongong’s housing shapes the work: stacked laundries and integrated dishwashers in the CBD apartments, hard-worked washers in the student rentals, big top loaders and a garage second fridge in the family suburbs. Each is a fixed price. The van carries the common parts, so many jobs are finished in one visit; if yours needs a part we don’t stock, we quote it first and come back, with no second call-out fee.
Start with the page for your appliance: washing machine repairs Wollongong, fridge repairs Wollongong, dishwasher repairs Wollongong or dryer repairs Wollongong — the faults we see most, what to check first, error codes by brand and real jobs with prices.
What we don’t do: ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, microwaves or air conditioning. If yours is one of those we’ll say so on the phone rather than charge a diagnostic. Fully insured, manufacturer-trained, an authorised service agent for Fisher & Paykel, Haier and Asko, a 12-month labour warranty on every job, and 5.0 stars from 201 Google reviews.

Frequently asked questions
Do you do appliance repairs in Wollongong?
Yes — Wollongong is home base. We repair washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and fridges at your home across the CBD, North Wollongong, Fairy Meadow, Figtree, Unanderra, Corrimal and every suburb in between, and run north to Helensburgh and south through Dapto and Shellharbour to Kiama and the Shoalhaven. Hours are Mon–Fri 9am–5pm; you can book online any time.
What does an appliance repair cost in Wollongong?
The diagnostic is $129 across Wollongong and the close-in Illawarra ($169 further out) and covers the visit, the travel and finding the real fault. The repair is then a fixed price by what the job involves — Minor $139, Standard $209, Major $299, Complex $459 — plus any part, quoted before we start. If you go ahead, the diagnostic is the first line of your repair price: you’ve already paid it, so you only pay the balance. You never pay it twice.
Do you cover Nowra, Bomaderry and the Shoalhaven?
Yes. Berry, Shoalhaven Heads, Cambewarra, Bomaderry and Nowra (postcodes 2535, 2540 and 2541) are our further-out zone: the diagnostic is $169 there and the repair tiers are the same as everywhere else. Kiama, Gerringong and Gerroa are $129. Shoalhaven jobs are grouped onto one run, so tell us early in the week if you can.
What does it cost further out: Helensburgh, Bulli, Woonona, Berry or Nowra?
The diagnostic is $169 in postcodes 2508, 2515, 2516, 2517, 2535, 2540 and 2541: Helensburgh and Stanwell Park, Thirroul to Coledale, Bulli, Woonona and Russell Vale, Berry and Shoalhaven Heads, Cambewarra, Bomaderry and Nowra. Everywhere else we cover is $129. The repair itself is the same fixed tier wherever you are, and if you go ahead the diagnostic is the first line of your repair price, so you only pay the balance.
Will you be able to fix my problem?
Almost always, yes. We repair washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and fridges from every major brand, and with more than 10 years on the tools across the Illawarra we’ve seen just about every fault. We diagnose the real problem and fix most of them on the spot — and if something genuinely isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you honestly.
How do I contact you?
Call us on (02) 4288 2824, or book a repair online and send the details through our form. Tell us the appliance, the brand and what it’s doing, and we’ll be in touch quickly with the earliest available slot.
8 more questions
Do you support my appliance?
We service all the major brands — Bosch, Samsung, LG, Miele, Electrolux, Westinghouse and more — using genuine or genuine-grade parts. Snap Repairs is a manufacturer-authorised repairer for Fisher & Paykel, Haier and Asko specifically, which means genuine parts and manufacturer-standard repairs on those three brands. You’ll find the full list on our brands page.
Do you repair ovens or cooktops?
No. We specialise in washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and fridges, and we don’t repair ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, microwaves or air conditioners. Sticking to the four appliances we know best is why we can usually fix them on the spot.
What payments do you accept?
We accept card and cash, and our technicians take payment on the spot once the job’s done — no invoices to chase and no bank-transfer hassle. You pay when the work is finished, and because we quote before any parts work goes ahead, the amount is never a surprise.
Will you come to me?
Yes — we’re fully mobile and come to you right across Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama and the wider Illawarra & Shoalhaven. We’ll book you the earliest slot we’ve got: most jobs we’re there within the week, and often within a couple of days. Wherever we can, we fix it on the spot.
Will I be surprised by the bill?
The diagnostic is $129 across Wollongong and the close-in Illawarra (postcodes 2500 to 2534), or $169 further out (Helensburgh to Woonona in the north, Berry to Nowra in the south). It covers the visit, the travel and finding the real fault. If you go ahead, the diagnostic is the first line of your repair price: you’ve already paid it, so you only pay the balance. You never pay it twice. If a part has to be ordered, we quote you first. There’s no second call-out fee, and the $129 you’ve already paid counts toward your total.
What happens if I don’t go ahead with the repair?
If you decide not to go ahead, you’ve paid for a proper diagnosis and a written quote that stands for 30 days. Nothing more.
How long will it take to fix my appliance?
Most repairs are done in a single visit. We carry the parts that fail most often, so a lot of faults are sorted on the spot. If your model needs a less common part ordered in, we’ll give you a fixed quote first and book a return visit as soon as it lands — with no second call-out fee.
Do you have a warranty?
Yes. We back our labour with a 12-month warranty and parts with a 3-month warranty. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the warranty period, we’ll come back and put it right at no charge.
