Use the booking form or call. Add a photo of the model sticker or error code if you can.
We call you back
We ask a few questions, get an idea of what it might be and pick a time that suits you.
Fixed at your place
Kobe finds the fault, tells you the price before he starts and repairs it on the spot where he can.
Brands we service
Kobe knows these machines well, including the European ones that can be fussy about parts. Got a different brand? Ask anyway.
Bluewaves is an independent repairer and is not affiliated with these brands. Logos show the brands we service. Appliance and model coverage varies; Ariston repairs are limited to washing machines, dishwashers and dryers.
Where Kobe works
Kobe keeps to two patches close to home, so he isn't stuck in traffic and can get to you sooner.
Brisbane Northside
We generally don't go further north than Albany Creek. If you are just past that line, call and ask, and Kobe will tell you straight whether it works.
The Redlands
We cover Alexandra Hills, Capalaba, Thornlands, Cleveland, Victoria Point and the suburbs close around them. For anything past that, give us a call and ask.

The Spin Cycle
Plain-English guides from Kobe. Some problems you can sort yourself before you book.
Washing machine not draining: what to check before you call
A washing machine that leaves water in the drum is usually blocked, kinked or waiting on a part. Here are the safe checks you can do yourself, and the signs it needs a technician.
Read the guideDishwasher not cleaning properly: causes and fixes
Dishes that come out dirty or gritty usually point to a clogged filter, blocked spray arms or the wrong detergent. This guide covers the checks you can do and when a part is at fault.
Read the guideDryer not heating: vented, condenser and heat pump checks
A dryer that runs but leaves clothes damp is usually short of airflow or has a failed heating part. Here are the checks for vented, condenser and heat pump dryers, plus a lint fire warning.
Read the guideQuestions people ask
Do you come to my house?
Yes. Kobe is a mobile technician, so he brings his tools and common parts to you and repairs the appliance where it is.
Which areas do you cover?
Brisbane's Northside from Hamilton and Hendra up to Albany Creek, and the Redlands around Capalaba, Alexandra Hills, Thornlands, Cleveland and Victoria Point. If you're just outside those, call and ask.
What do I need to tell you when I book?
The appliance, the brand, what it's doing and the model number if you can find it. The model sticker is usually inside the door or on the back. A photo of it helps Kobe bring the right part on the first visit.
Do you install appliances or do warranty repairs?
No. Bluewaves repairs appliances and doesn't do installations or warranty work. If your appliance is still under the manufacturer's warranty, contact the brand or the retailer first.
Is it worth fixing or should I buy new?
Kobe will give you a straight answer once he's looked at it. If the repair doesn't make sense for the age of the machine, he'll tell you. We wrote a guide on how to decide, too.
Are you connected to the brands you repair?
Bluewaves is an independent repairer and isn't connected to any brand. Kobe previously worked as a technician with Miele and Fisher & Paykel, and has worked on Electrolux appliances as a contractor for Electrolux.
