LG Appliance Repairs
Expert LG appliance repairs. Specialising in Direct Drive washers, Linear Compressor fridges, and smart technology.
Why Choose Us for LG Appliance Repairs in Wollongong?
LG's innovative technologies like Direct Drive motors, Linear Compressor refrigeration, and SmartThinQ connectivity require specialised knowledge for proper servicing. Our technicians undergo regular training on LG's latest developments, understanding the intricate systems that make LG appliances energy-efficient and feature-rich. We've invested in LG-specific diagnostic tools that communicate with your appliance's onboard systems.
Our 40-year presence in the Illawarra means we've grown alongside LG's evolution in the Australian market. We understand how coastal conditions affect LG's electronics and use this knowledge to provide better service. From traditional LG appliances to the latest WiFi-enabled models, we have the expertise to diagnose and repair efficiently, often completing repairs same-day.
What LG Technologies Can We Service?
LG pioneers appliance technology, and we service it all. We repair Linear Compressor fridges with their efficient, quiet operation and 10-year warranty backing. Our expertise covers Door-in-Door refrigerators, providing convenient access while maintaining temperature stability. We service LG's Multi-Air Flow systems ensuring even cooling throughout the fridge cavity.
For washing machines, we're specialists in Direct Drive technology where the motor connects directly to the drum, eliminating belts and reducing noise. We repair TrueSteam systems generating real steam for better cleaning and allergen removal. Our technicians handle 6 Motion DD technology, understanding each wash motion's purpose and common failure points. We also service LG's innovative dishwashers, dryers with heat pump technology, and smart appliances throughout the range.
How Do We Handle LG Error Codes?
LG appliances communicate through specific error codes, but understanding their true meaning requires expertise beyond basic code lists. When your LG washing machine displays IE, OE, or LE codes, we know to check beyond the obvious. IE (water inlet error) might indicate faulty valves, blocked filters, or control board issues. OE (drainage error) could stem from pump problems, blockages, or even control board failures.
Our diagnostic process involves systematic testing of components indicated by error codes while remaining aware that codes sometimes misdirect. We verify actual component operation rather than simply replacing parts based on codes. This thorough approach prevents unnecessary part replacement and ensures we solve the real problem, not just clear the error code temporarily.
What Are Common LG Appliance Problems?
LG washing machines frequently develop drainage issues, often from pump blockages or failures. The famous LE error (locked motor) typically indicates hall sensor problems or control board issues rather than actual motor failure. Door lock mechanisms sometimes fail, preventing cycle starts. Direct Drive machines may develop bearing wear, causing noise and vibration.
LG fridges commonly experience Linear Compressor failures, though many qualify for extended warranty coverage. Ice makers frequently malfunction, particularly in Door-in-Door models. Temperature inconsistencies often trace to failed sensors or control board problems. LG dishwashers may develop wash motor issues or experience touchpad failures. Understanding these patterns helps us arrive prepared with likely needed parts.
Can You Repair LG Smart Appliances?
Absolutely. LG's SmartThinQ technology adds convenience but also complexity to repairs. We troubleshoot connectivity issues, app integration problems, and smart feature malfunctions. When your LG appliance won't connect to WiFi, fails to respond to app commands, or shows smart feature errors, we systematically diagnose both hardware and software components.
Smart diagnosis features in LG appliances actually help our repair process. We use LG's Smart Diagnosis system to retrieve error history and operational data. However, we go beyond automated diagnosis, understanding that smart features sometimes mask traditional mechanical problems. Our comprehensive approach ensures all aspects of your LG appliance function correctly, from basic operation to advanced smart features.
How Do You Source LG Spare Parts?
We maintain strong relationships with LG parts suppliers, ensuring access to genuine components. Our workshop stocks common LG parts including pumps, door seals, sensors, and filters for popular models. This inventory enables same-day repairs for many issues. When specialised parts are needed, our supplier network often provides next-day delivery throughout the Illawarra.
For older LG models, we've developed sources for discontinued parts. We understand LG's part numbering system and cross-compatibility between models. Sometimes newer improved parts supersede original components, which we identify and utilise. This parts expertise, combined with our diagnostic skills, means efficient repairs that restore your LG appliance's functionality quickly.
What About LG's Extended Warranties?
LG offers extended warranties on specific components like Linear Compressors and Direct Drive motors. We're familiar with these warranty terms and help customers understand their coverage. For in-warranty repairs, we guide you through LG's process while offering to perform repairs if you prefer local service. For out-of-warranty repairs, we provide competitive alternatives to official service centres.
We're transparent about how different repair approaches might affect remaining warranties. Sometimes minor repairs preserve warranty coverage while solving immediate problems. Our experience with LG warranty claims helps customers make informed decisions about repair options. We'll always explain the most cost-effective approach for your situation.
How Long Do LG Repairs Typically Take?
Most LG repairs are completed during the initial visit, typically within 1-2 hours. Common issues like blocked pumps, failed door locks, or sensor replacements are straightforward with proper parts availability. Our technicians arrive equipped for likely repairs based on your described symptoms, improving first-visit completion rates.
Complex repairs involving control boards or compressor replacements may require parts ordering. We provide accurate timeframes and maintain communication throughout the process. LG's modular design often allows partial functionality while awaiting parts. We understand the inconvenience of appliance downtime and work efficiently to restore normal operation quickly.
Are Older LG Appliances Worth Repairing?
LG appliances generally offer excellent longevity, making repair economically viable for most models under 10 years old. Their quality construction and innovative features represent significant replacement cost. We assess each situation individually, considering repair cost against replacement value, overall appliance condition, and technological relevance.
Linear Compressor fridges and Direct Drive washing machines often justify repair even when older, given their original cost and continued efficiency. We provide honest assessments, sometimes recommending replacement when repair costs approach replacement value. Our goal is helping you make the best economic decision for your situation.
Why Is Local Service Better for LG Repairs?
While LG offers manufacturer service, choosing local specialists provides significant advantages. We offer faster response times, often same-day service compared to weeks-long waits. Our pricing is competitive, without call-out charges or inflated labour rates. As locals, we understand Illawarra-specific challenges like coastal corrosion and hard water effects on appliances.
Our family business values long-term relationships over quick profits. We service the same LG appliances throughout their lifespan, understanding each machine's history. This continuity provides better service outcomes. You deal directly with experienced technicians, not call centres. Our reputation depends on your satisfaction, driving our commitment to quality repairs.

Doug Roberts
Very happy. I rang for service on Tuesday and a visit was arranged for the next day. The man texted me to say he was on the way and arrived soon after. He was able to tell me what he thought was the problem and an estimate of the cost if he were correct. He was right, had the necessary parts in his truck and fixed our machine straight away. Would recommend.
Anne Biswas

Tony Koloski
Julie, Donna and the staff from Wollongong Service Company were so professional in helping and advising me of the options to repair a leaking hose in my dishwasher. They finished the job that was originally diagnosed by another party and actually changed all the hoses in my dishwasher for a little more than the price I was quoted to only change 1 hose by the original party (after paying that party a service call fee initially) and did not charge me any service call fee. I would highly recommend Wollongong Service Company to anyone in need of appliance repairs. Their tradesmen were very informative and friendly during the repair also. Thanks to all the staff at Wollongong Service Company, much appreciated.
Mark Terechovs

He also offered advice for future reference. Based on my experience I can highly recommend Wollongong Service Company.

Jan Riley
My local repairer could not come to my house for 2 weeks to look at my washing machine because they were fully booked out and so they said to contact Wollongong Service Company to see if they could look at my machine sooner. So I contacted this company and the very next day someone came out and found the problem with my machine. So a part had to be ordered and within a short period of time my machine was fixed. This company is excellent to deal with and the repairer (Jye) was so nice and respectful of my house. I will most certainly be calling this company again if I have any appliance problems in the future and I can't thank them enough for all of their help. I am so happy!
