Expert feature: Appliance maintenance

From Afternoons, 2:30 pm on 5 September 2022

Today's experts feature is looking at appliances - how to care for them, how to repair them, how to tell whether they're worth repairing.

In recent years manufacturers have been facing pressure to make it easier for consumers to access spare parts to get their appliances repaired.

In 2021 the European Union brought in new right to repair standards, and Consumer groups here are keen that something similar is brought in.

Andrew Wadsworth runs Wellington Appliance Servicing in the Hutt Valley, he joins Jesse to talk about taking care of your appliances and can answer any questions on text: 2101 or email: jesse@rnz.co.nz.
