Who do you call if your washing machine or air conditioner breaks down?
Appliance repair, air conditioner servicing and who pays when renting.
Short answer
If a washing machine, fridge or air conditioner breaks down in Tbilisi or Batumi, call an appliance repair company or a private technician, many of whom make house calls. If it is under warranty, contact the shop or manufacturer's service centre first. In a rented flat, tell the landlord first, as repairs to their appliances are usually at their expense.
Why
- Service air conditioners in spring, before the heat, when technicians are less busy.
- Call-out and diagnostic fees are usually charged even without a repair.
- If a washing machine won't drain, a clogged filter is often the cause.
Details
Before calling, note the model and describe the fault, ideally with a photo or video. Ask for a warranty on the work and parts.
