How Virtual Appliance Repair Works

At Same Day Appliance Repair, we offer three distinct virtual services to help you solve problems, get expert advice, or install your appliances — all from the comfort of home. These sessions are conducted live via Zoom, WhatsApp, or Google Meet and are available Australia-wide.

  1. Virtual Appliance Consultation (Expert Advice & Second Opinion)

Service Overview:
Our Virtual Consultation service is designed for customers who need guidance, clarification, or a professional second opinion before making a decision. This is not a diagnosis or repair session — it’s a quick, affordable way to understand your situation and plan your next step.

What’s Included:

  • General advice on appliance symptoms or unusual behavior
  • Second opinion before ordering parts or booking service
  • Safety recommendations for continued use or shutdown
  • Recommendations on cost-effective repair vs. replacement
  • Advice for landlords, property managers, or tenants
  • Guidance before purchasing or reinstalling an appliance

Use Cases:

  • Unsure whether a strange noise or error code needs urgent attention?
  • Want to confirm if a technician is really needed?
  • Thinking of buying a new appliance and want model comparisons?

Session Duration: Up to 15–30 minutes
Price: $19 AUD
Outcome: Informed decision-making without unnecessary costs.

  1. Virtual Appliance Diagnosis (Remote Fault Identification)

Service Overview:
Our Virtual Diagnosis session allows a licensed technician to remotely inspect and identify the problem with your appliance in real time — using your smartphone camera and our proven troubleshooting checklist. It’s ideal for resolving many common issues without waiting days for an on-site appointment.

What’s Included:

  • Real-time video inspection of the appliance
  • Testing of controls, fuses, filters, water connections, or airflow
  • Walkthrough of appliance display, error codes, and settings
  • Guided checks for common faults (blockages, sensor failures, reset steps)
  • A clear recommendation: Fix, monitor, or escalate to in-person visit
  • 50% credit toward in-home technician booking (if required within 7 days)

Use Cases:

  • Washing machine won’t drain, and you don’t know why
  • Fridge not cooling properly, but no visible damage
  • Dryer keeps turning off mid-cycle — is it a sensor or vent issue?

Session Duration: Up to 30 minutes
Price: $39 AUD
Outcome: Exact problem identified with an action plan (reset/fix/escalate).

  1. Virtual Appliance Installation Help (Step-by-Step Setup Support)

Service Overview:
If you’ve purchased or moved an appliance and need help setting it up safely, our Virtual Installation Help service provides live guidance from a technician to ensure everything is connected, levelled, and functioning correctly — with zero guesswork.

What’s Included:

  • Guidance on water/gas/power connections (non-invasive only)
  • Levelling and stability check for washing machines/dryers
  • Remote setup for oven clocks, stove controls, or air con remotes
  • Step-by-step walkthrough of appliance user manual
  • Safety checks: drain hose, vents, power supply, door seals
  • Remote pairing or reset of smart appliance features

Use Cases:

  • Just moved into a new home and reinstalled your washer incorrectly
  • Unsure if your oven or gas stove has been installed properly
  • Can’t figure out how to connect or calibrate your new AC remote

Session Duration: Up to 30 minutes
Price: $49 AUD
Outcome: Appliance set up correctly, safely, and without costly mistakes.
