"It's time to revolt!

Revolt against throw-away culture. Let's reclaim the things we own and take pride in maintaining and repairing them.

Come join us on the third Tuesday of every month for the Repair Revolution at the #RiverlutionEcoHub.

Things you might have that need repair are torn or holey clothes, #StuckZippers, furniture, lamps, headphones and cables, sunglasses, appliances, electronics, phones, computers (software or hardware), ceramics and pottery, toys, shoes, jewellery, blunt knives (to sharpen) broken plastic objects or anything that you can easily transport here. Feel free to ask if you're unsure.

If your broken thing needs specific parts to fix it, please bring them along too.

Disclaimer:
We are a volunteer service with a broad range of skills and experience. We, therefore, need to reiterate that there is the potential that we may be unable to repair your thing and also that we could irreparably damage it.

I hope guests joining these events are aware that this is not a financial endeavour but a community gathering focusing on repair.

#OnlineEvent - #Aotearoa / #NewZealand - Why can't I fix my washing machine?

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.

So why is repair support so difficult to access?

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.

The webinar will be recorded and shared with registered participants."

#OnlineEvent - #Aotearoa / #NewZealand - Why can't I fix my washing machine?

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.

So why is repair support so difficult to access?

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.

The webinar will be recorded and shared with registered participants."

"The Aotearoa New Zealand-wide Repair Festival was launched in September 2024, successfully bringing together the many Repair Cafés, businesses, organisations, and Councils that are joining the growing Repair Community. In 2025, we saw an even higher and broader participation, leading to a strong desire for a month-long festival.

The Repair Festival 2026 runs from Saturday, September 5 to Sunday, September 27 (the first Saturday to the last Sunday of the month), as we host continuous repair activities and events all across the motu. We invite everyone to join the Repair Movement: communities, businesses, schools, universities and libraries, advocacy groups, and government.

More events are on their way, they will be uploaded as they reach us!"
