My HAIER 4 door Fridge had formed a big iceberg at the back ,which was affecting temperatures around the fridge. The National appliance guys stood out on google reviews and they deployed Josh to attend to my unhappy Fridge , it did take a second visit as it was an unusual problem but all fixed . They are excellent with communication and didn’t cost an arm and a leg . I would Highly recommend ☺️

What we repair

Tumble Dryer Types We Service

We repair all tumble dryer types with the same expertise and care.

  • Vented Tumble Dryers

    Vented dryers expel hot air outside and are the simplest dryer type. We repair heating element failures, thermostat issues, drum problems, airflow blockages, door seal failures, and thermal cutout faults.

  • Condenser Tumble Dryers

    Condenser dryers recycle hot air and collect moisture in a tank. We fix heating element failures, condenser coil issues, moisture sensor problems, tank drainage faults, and thermal overload trips.

  • Heat Pump Tumble Dryers

    Heat pump dryers use advanced technology to recycle air and offer energy efficiency. We repair heating pump failures, evaporator coil issues, sensor malfunctions, control board problems, and refrigerant-related faults.

FAQS

Tumble Dryer Repair Questions

Can you repair my tumble dryer if it's still under warranty?

Yes. We can repair tumble dryers still under manufacturer’s warranty. For the repair to be covered under warranty, contact the manufacturer directly and request a work order confirming warranty coverage and authorisation. Once we receive the valid work order, we’ll proceed with the warranty repair.If you prefer to proceed without a manufacturer’s work order, we’re happy to repair your dryer on a chargeable basis. Either way, our repairs won’t void your manufacturer’s warranty when carried out to manufacturer repair standards.

How much does a tumble dryer repair typically cost?

Tumble dryer repair costs vary depending on the specific issue. A simple thermostat replacement or thermal cutout may be relatively low-cost. Heating element or control board replacement can be more substantial. The best way to get an accurate quote is to call us on 1300-434-380 for a free phone consultation. We’ll discuss your issue and provide ballpark costs before scheduling your appointment.

Can you fix my tumble dryer today?

We aim to complete most tumble dryer repairs same-day when parts are in stock. Call us immediately on 1300-434-380 and we’ll assess whether same-day repair is possible for your specific issue. For urgent situations, we prioritise next-day appointments.

Should I repair or replace my tumble dryer?

This depends on repair costs versus replacement value, age of the appliance, and frequency of breakdowns. A heating element replacement on a newer dryer is usually worth fixing. Multiple electrical or mechanical issues on an older model might make replacement more economical. Our technicians can assess your situation and provide an honest recommendation during inspection.

Why does my tumble dryer need a professional? Can't I fix it myself?

Tumble dryer repairs involve high-temperature elements, electrical components, and rotating drum assemblies. DIY attempts risk electrical shock, burns, component damage, and voided warranties. Professional repair ensures safety, proper calibration, and lasting fixes. Our technicians are trained on all dryer types and carry genuine parts.
