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.
- 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:Â $19 AUD
Outcome:Â Informed decision-making without unnecessary costs.
- 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:Â Up to 30 minutes
Price:Â $39 AUD
Outcome:Â Exact problem identified with an action plan (reset/fix/escalate).
- 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
