The diagnostic here is $129, the close-in rate. Tyson is the technician on every job, with more than ten years on the tools and the common parts on the van.

Homes and appliances in Shellharbour
Shellharbour is two different places for an appliance. The village and the streets out toward Bass Point are mostly older cottages, weatherboard and fibro, with the washer in a carport or garage and the salt air coming straight off the water.
Salt and damp get into exposed steel: fridge condenser coils and connectors go green, washer chassis and hinges rust, dryer casings pit, and door seals harden early. A machine in an open garage near the harbour can be older than its years, and catching a small fault early keeps it going.
More about Shellharbour homes and what goes wrong in them
Up at the City Centre around Stockland the housing is mostly 1970s to 1990s brick family homes. These have proper laundries, a big top loader that has done a lot of loads, a freestanding dishwasher and often a second fridge in the garage, which cops summer heat and gets forgotten. The faults here are wear faults: drain pumps, inlet valves, fans and suspension.
Shell Cove and Flinders are the newer estates, and the appliances match: French-door fridges with ice-makers, washer-dryer combos, heat-pump dryers, integrated dishwashers behind a cabinet panel and stacked laundries in a cupboard. Plenty of these are still under manufacturer warranty, so if yours is, lodge with the manufacturer first.
For Fisher & Paykel, Haier and Asko we are the authorised service agent, so we can do the warranty work once the authority comes through.
What we fix here, appliance by appliance
Washing machine repairs in Shellharbour
Washers are the machine we see most here, from a garage-kept top loader in the village to a front loader stacked under a dryer in a Shell Cove cupboard. The usual calls are a machine that won’t drain or spin, water on the floor and a door that won’t unlock, which is nearly always water still in the tub.
Before you book, unscrew the drain filter at the bottom front and check it for coins. Most of these land in the Standard tier with the part fitted on the visit. See washing machine repairs in Shellharbour or why a washing machine won’t drain.
Fridge repairs in Shellharbour
The Shellharbour fridge call is often the garage second fridge near the water: salt on the condenser coils, a fan that has seized and a door seal gone hard. In the estates it is more often a French-door fridge icing up behind the freezer panel, a defrost fault.
Quick check: if the freezer is cold but the fridge is warm, look for ice over the vents between the sections and listen for the fan. A fan, sensor or damper is a Standard repair plus the part. Compressor and gas work we refer on. See fridge repairs in Shellharbour and why a fridge stops cooling.
Dishwasher repairs in Shellharbour
Integrated dishwashers in Shell Cove and Flinders, freestanding machines in the City Centre and older units in the village all come through the booking form. Not draining is the big one, usually a shard of glass in the drain pump, a filter that hasn’t been cleaned or a blocked S-bend under the sink. Dirty dishes point to clogged spray arms or water that isn’t heating.
Pull the filter out of the floor of the machine and rinse it before you call. Most are Standard repairs; integrated machines add $80. See dishwasher repairs in Shellharbour or why a dishwasher won’t drain.
Dryer repairs in Shellharbour
Vented dryers on the wall in older village homes, condenser dryers in units and heat-pump dryers in the new estates: we work on all three. A dryer that runs but won’t heat, or takes two cycles to dry a load, is mostly airflow. Lint chokes the filter and the condenser and the safety thermostat trips.
Clean the lint filter and rinse the condenser before you book, because that fixes a fair share of them. A tripped thermostat or worn drum rollers is a Minor or Standard job, often finished in the one visit. See dryer repairs in Shellharbour and why a dryer won’t heat.
What it costs in Shellharbour and when we come, in detail
What it costs in Shellharbour
Shellharbour is postcode 2529, so the diagnostic is $129. Repairs are a fixed tier on top: Minor $139 with no part needed, Standard $209 for one accessible part, Major $299 when the machine comes substantially apart, Complex $459 for a full teardown. A stacked laundry adds $60 and an integrated dishwasher $80.
Parts are quoted before we order and there is no second call-out fee to fit them. Labour is warranted for 12 months. 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. See pricing and the guarantee.

Shellharbour is on the southern run, and we group the day’s bookings so the van works down through Dapto, Albion Park and Oak Flats to the village, Shell Cove and Kiama in one loop.

Book online any time or call (02) 4288 2824 between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. We confirm by text, usually within the hour in business hours, first thing next morning otherwise.

Shellharbour appliance repair FAQs
What does an appliance repair cost in Shellharbour?
The diagnostic is $129 for all of 2529, village or City Centre. The repair is a fixed tier from $139 to $459 depending on how far the machine comes apart, plus any part, quoted first. Integrated dishwashers add $80 and stacked laundries $60. Card or cash on the spot, and the written quote stands for 30 days.
How soon can you get to Shellharbour?
We’re through 2529 most weeks on the southern run. Most jobs we’re there within the week, often within a couple of days, and a fridge that has stopped cooling goes to the front of the queue. Book online any time or ring during business hours and we’ll text you a slot.
Do you cover the village, the City Centre and the estates?
Yes. The harbour village, Bass Point, the City Centre around Stockland, Blackbutt, Flinders and Dunmore are one booking area at one price. Shell Cove and Oak Flats are on the same trip and have their own pages. Strata units and townhouses are fine; tell us if the laundry is in a cupboard so we bring the right gear.
Is there anything you don't repair?
We stick to four appliances: washing machines, dryers, dishwashers and fridges or freezers. We don’t repair ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, microwaves or air conditioning, and we’ll tell you on the phone rather than charge a diagnostic to say so.
Why does my fridge near the water run all the time?
Salt air corrodes the condenser coils and connectors, and a seal that has gone hard lets warm air in, so the compressor runs to keep up. A garage fridge in the village gets summer heat as well. Often it is a fan or seal we replace on the visit. If the compressor is gone, we’ll say so and point you to a refrigeration specialist or a new fridge.
