Germiston is one of the older towns of the East Rand, built around its railway junction and Germiston Lake, and it has the housing to match: established family homes, blocks of flats and newer townhouse complexes. Older homes often have older appliances, and older wiring to the stove and the laundry, so the technician checks the supply at the appliance as well as the appliance itself.
We repair washing machines, fridges, freezers, dishwashers, stoves, ovens and tumble dryers at home, and small appliances, aircons and heat pumps too. When you book, tell us the appliance, what it's doing and your suburb. A photo of the model sticker or an error code helps the technician arrive with a good idea of where to start.
The technician comes to you, finds the fault where the appliance stands, and explains the repair and its cost before any work starts. Nearby, see Bedfordview, Alberton or Boksburg.

Older homes, older wiring
When a stove trips the power or a washing machine won't switch on, the cause can be the appliance or the supply to it. In older homes, plug points, isolators and the cable to the stove have often seen a lot of years. The technician checks the supply at the appliance while finding the fault. If the problem is in the house wiring, they'll tell you, so you know it's a job for an electrician.
Tumble dryers through the wet season
Highveld summers bring afternoon storms, and the tumble dryer takes over from the washing line. A dryer that's blowing cold air, not turning or taking two cycles to dry a load needs attention before it falls behind. See tumble dryer repairs in Germiston for the faults we fix. Empty the lint filter after every load in the meantime: a blocked filter is one of the most common reasons a dryer runs hot and slow.
Fridges and freezers
A fridge that has stopped cooling, or a chest freezer that's icing up, is the call that can't wait. Keep the doors shut and move the most perishable food to a cooler box. Common causes are a thermostat, a fan, a defrost fault or a worn seal, and each is a standard repair. See fridge repairs in Germiston.
No call-out fee when we repair it.If no repair is done, a R500 call-out applies. The technician finds the fault and explains the repair before any work starts, so you decide whether to go ahead.
