Amelia WilliamsWe all take our dryers for granted—until they stop working and suddenly laundry day turns into a week-long hunt for anything remotely clean.
That’s why we’ve hunted down the best dryer repair places in the city—so you don’t have to resort to hanging your undies on every available surface or bribing your neighbours for a spin cycle.
Here’s who to call when your dryer decides to go on strike and your patience is hanging by a very damp thread.
How much does it cost to get a dryer repaired in Auckland?
It costs at least 110 NZD to get a dryer repaired in Auckland. This is just an estimate. The actual price will depend on the problem, the repair company, the dryer brand, and more.
1. Ajax Appliance Repairs
Address: 56b Wallace Road, Māngere Bridge
Contact Details: +64 21 116 4663
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 5 PM
Ajax Appliance Repairs is perfect for anyone who wants their mainstream dryer fixed quickly, honestly, and without any upsell drama.
We’ve heard from more than one person that they got a call back in under half an hour after putting up a repair request—that kind of responsiveness is surprisingly hard to find these days.
Their techs clearly know what they’re doing. Someone told us that when her dryer started making a weird noise, Ajax’s technician popped it open, pointed out the worn belt, and gave them a straightforward quote.
We also appreciate how thorough they are. Folks who had overheating dryers said that the tech didn’t just fix the vent and vanish. He actually took the time to explain the problem and even shared a couple of tips for prevention.
Another thing we genuinely like is how they handle replacements. If they need to swap out a part, you get choices, not ultimatums. They explain your options, and they don’t push for the most expensive one.
The only hiccup? If your dryer is an older model, you might have to wait while they track it down.
I was so pleased with the service
“Tama is really a lovely young man and very professional and he mended my dryer door for a very reasonable fee. I was so pleased with the service and he know has a customer for life.
From Sandy Chaney”

Would definitely recommend
“Would definitely recommend Ajax Appliance Repair. My dryer decided to die before a very wet weekend. Tama was very responsive and sorted the dryer within a day. Would/will use again!”

2. Appliance Repairs Auckland
Contact Details:+64 274 141 321
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 7:30 AM to 6 PM
Appliance Repairs’ straightforward service is what earned them a place on this list. They show up on time, fix the issues fast, and don’t sneak in extra charges just for follow-ups.
They’re transparent about what they can and cannot do. They mainly repair Fisher & Paykel, Simpson, or Westinghouse dryers. If you’ve got a Bosch, Smeg, or one of those fancy Euro models, you’re out of luck—they don’t fix those.
Turnaround time is also impressive. Several people said their dryers were back in action within an hour. Just be ready to pay on the day, either with cash or a quick bank transfer.
One person had a dryer that refused to spin, and the tech fixed it right away. He also explained how to avoid the same mess in the future—without making it sound like rocket science.
What we also really like is how they handle post-repair issues. If your dryer decides to throw another tantrum after the repair, you’re not hit with another callout fee. Their 12-month parts warranty means they’ll come back and sort it, no extra charge.
Very reasonable rates
“This company is great. They responded to my inquiry the same day and within 3 working days they worked their magic and fixed the problem on my dryer. Very reasonable rates and would “highly recommend” them. They were the best appliance companies I have used.“
–Mona McCracken, Google Reviews
Really impressed with his speed and professionalism
”I had a broken dryer on day 1 of Level3 lockdown. I chanced upon this company. So glad I did as Shane came out the same day diagnosed the problem and explained what it was clearly. He got the part ordered and gave me a 7 day timeframe. He returned 3 days later to fix it . I was really impressed with his speed and professionalism. I’d recommend and will use again if I need to.”

3. Norwest Appliance Services
Address: 5C Mihini Road, Henderson
Contact Details:+64 9 833 4702
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 4:30 PM
If your Fisher & Paykel dryer is acting up, Norwest Appliance Services is one of the best options out there. What really stood out to us while looking into them is how they cut the usual fluff and just get straight to the heart of the issue.
Customers told us the technicians don’t poke around and mutter about nonsense. Instead, they actually pull out the offending hose, show you the damage, and fix it on the spot.
One memorable story we came across was when a customer’s dryer started making this weird thumping noise. The Norwest tech explained exactly which bit was loose and why it mattered.
We love those kinds of explanations because they help prevent the same problem.
Another thing we appreciated is that customers know what they’re paying before the tech even touches a screwdriver—upfront quotes.
And they don’t drag things out—most repairs are wrapped up before you can finish folding a load of towels. We see this efficiency as a huge plus for anyone with a busy life.
The only catch? They have a very busy schedule, so you might need to wait a few days for your slot. But when they do show up, it’s all business.
Fixing our dryer in a few minutes

Prompt, clear communication
“Fantastic team! Prompt, clear communication, super helpful and friendly with great advice. Thank you so much for making the repair of my dryer such a fast and easy experience.”

4. Apex Appliance Repair Services Ltd
Contact Details:+64 21 296 3867
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 7 AM to 6 PM
- Saturday – 7 AM to 1 PM
Apex is a lifesaver for anyone with a dryer that others won’t touch. People with an old Simpson dryer (the kind with dials) told us they were turned down by multiple companies, but Apex didn’t blink twice.
They got a booking for the very next day, and the tech showed up right when they said they would—no “I’ll be there sometime between sunrise and sunset” nonsense.
What we really appreciate is that the Apex crew comes prepared. They actually have the parts in the van, and most jobs are done in under an hour.
According to former clients, the techs also don’t just swap out a part and dash. They check the dryer for wear and tear and clean out the lint filter.
Now, if you’re after someone who knows every quirk of a super-fancy, specific name-brand dryer, Apex doesn’t have the ultra-specialized knowledge of brand-only repair dryer gurus.
But if you want someone who’ll show up, fix what’s broken, and doesn’t care how old your machine is, they’re a solid bet.
Fixed our dryer in 15 mins
“Great service, fixed our dryer in 15 mins – would recommend Mohsen!”
–Chris Huneidi, Google Reviews
He really knows his stuff
“Over the years, Mohsen has fixed pretty much every appliance we’ve owned, washing machines, dryers, fridge – the lot! He really knows his stuff and always does an excellent job. On top of that, he’s quick to respond to queries and is a really nice guy who’s a pleasure to deal with. I’d happily recommend him to anyone.”

5. Easy Appliance Servicing
Contact Details:+64 274 747 578
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 5 PM
- Saturday – 8 AM to 12 PM
One thing that sets Easy Appliance Servicing apart is their willingness to shop on weekends. For those of us who don’t have the luxury of taking a Tuesday off just to babysit a broken dryer, this is very convenient.
What we also like (and we’re not alone) is that their repair guys don’t try to sell you a bunch of extras you don’t need. They offer straight-up fixes, and that’s it.
Their technicians come across as honest and respectful of customers’ time and budget, which can be quite rare nowadays.
Another huge plus is their delivery and setup service. If you’re getting a new dryer, they don’t just drop it on your doorstep; they’ll also hook it up and cart away the old one so you don’t have to bribe a friend with pizza and a sore back.
That said, their crew is on the smaller side, so if you’re expecting them to come within an hour of the initial call, you might want to adjust your expectations.
Used his initiative to future-proof another potential issue
“Top-notch repair specialist. Sam was able to diagnose and fix our washer/dryer extremely quickly, and used his initiative to future-proof another potential issue. On time and very quick work. Couldn’t recommend more highly!”
–Nathan King, Google Reviews
I couldn’t recommend them more
“Sam and his team were fantastic and it’s great to find a service that you can trust and rely on. Their communication and pricing was spot on. Their care and consideration from entering your home and keeping things clean after a job to a detailed broken down invoice and great advice going forward.
I couldn’t recommend them more.”
–Sarah Norton, Google Reviews
