  1. Online Workshop - #Aotearoa / #NewZealand - Why can't I fix my #WashingMachine?

    15 Sept 2026, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

    "How New Zealanders are getting a bad deal on repair – and what the UK shows is possible.

    When a washing machine fails, dirty laundry piles up while owners wait weeks for an authorised repairer. Even simple faults can become expensive repairs once call-out fees and labour charges are added.

    Yet many common repairs are straightforward. Replacing a door gasket, detergent hose or drain pump doesn't require specialist qualifications – just basic tools, practical skills, and access to the right information and parts.

    We investigated ten popular washing machine brands in New Zealand, grading each manufacturer on whether owners can access repair manuals and purchase spare parts. We found a pattern of barriers that prevent owners from carrying out simple repairs themselves.

    Then we repeated the investigation in the UK using the same manufacturers.

    The results were dramatically different. Many brands that restrict repair support in New Zealand provide UK consumers with detailed manuals, online parts catalogues, stock availability and direct ordering.

    The barriers to repair are not technical or logistical. Manufacturers already have the systems needed to support repair – they simply choose not to make them available to New Zealand consumers."

    19 Sept 2026
    10:40 am – 12:00 pm

    569 Ferguson Street, Terrace End, Palmerston North 4410, New Zealand

    "Join us for this workshop alongside our 19 September #PalmerstonNorth #RepairCafé, at the Palmerston North Community Leisure Centre, as part of #RepairFestivalAotearoa.

    The workshop will cover:
    Cleaning your sewing machine
    Oiling and what not to oil, type of oil to use
    Setting tensions
    Needle and thread selection

    Daryl will have sewing machines there to demonstrate. He says that most problems with sewing machines are related to dirt, needles and not oiling properly.

    Please feel free to bring along fabric or material which gives an example of your sewing challenges. So if your overlocking is not nice and even, or you have challenges with grinning stitches (where it pulls apart after sewing)."

    "One small repair can save money, reduce waste, and keep a favourite item going for years longer.

    Every second Sunday of the month, the #SouthCanterbury #EcoCentre turns into a busy little workshop powered by generous community volunteers. One volunteer might be fixing a lamp, another patching someone’s favourite jeans, while nearby a bike gets tuned up and someone learns a new sewing skill over a cup of tea.

    Our volunteer repairers help give broken, damaged, and well-loved items a second chance. It’s also a chance to learn new skills, build community connections, and share conversations with others."
