What Janine does for an appliance repairer

Emergency. water pouring from a machine, burning smell or smoke, fridge-freezer failed with insulin or baby food inside. safety first: water → "switch it off at the wall and turn the tap behind it off"; burning or smoke → "switch off at the socket, and if the smoke carries on call 999".
Book a repair. appliance, make and model (let them read the label, don't rush), the fault in their words, in or out of guarantee, any insurance or plan, postcode, name, quote the diagnostic call-out your price list, slot, "please have it empty and accessible".

Safety first

Before anything else on an urgent call, Janine says the safety line for your trade:

“switch it off at the wall and turn the tap behind it off”
“switch off at the socket, and if the smoke carries on call 999”

What she never does

Never say the likely fault, the likely cost, or whether to buy new — "the engineer will tell you before doing any work".

A real call: Janine as “Whitegoods Wizard”

From our script test suite, September 2026. The caller’s lines were played by a scripted tester; every line from Janine is exactly what she generated. Outcome: she booked the job. Quality score 5 of 5 from the same grader that scores every live call.

JanineWhitegoods Wizard, Janine speaking — how can I help?
CallerHi, I'm looking to book a service for my washing machine next week, please.
JanineRight, what's the fault with it?
CallerOh, it's just a routine service really — nothing major, just want to get it checked over.
JanineI appreciate that, but we handle repairs when something's not working rather than routine servicing. Is there a fault you've noticed, or would you like me to take a message so the office can point you in the right direction?
CallerAh, I see — well, it's been making a bit of a noise recently, so maybe it does need looking at. Could you book someone out to have a look?
JanineThanks. Can you describe the noise for me — what does it sound like?
CallerIt's sort of a grinding sound, mainly when it's on the spin cycle. Gets a bit loud towards the end.
JanineRight, I'll get that booked in for you. Is the machine still under guarantee?
CallerNo, I don't think so — it's a few years old now.
JanineOkay. What make and model is it?
CallerIt's a Bosch, a WAE28LH8 I think — let me just check... yes, that's right.
JanineThanks. What's your postcode?
CallerW D 4 8 H X.
JanineW D 4, 8 H X — is that right?
CallerYes, that's correct.
JanineAnd the house number and street?
Caller14 Station Road.
JanineRight, 14 Station Road. What's your name?
CallerGemma Reid.
JanineThanks Gemma. Next week — which day suits you best?
CallerTomorrow morning would be ideal if you've got anything, otherwise just whenever you can fit me in first.
JanineTomorrow morning I can do 9 to 12 with Dev. Does that work for you?
CallerYes, that's perfect, thank you.
JanineBrilliant. So that's Gemma Reid, 14 Station Road, W D 4 8 H X, Bosch washing machine making a grinding noise on the spin cycle, tomorrow 9 to 12 with Dev. That's a diagnostic call-out, £69, which comes off the repair if you go ahead. Anything the team should know — parking, a gate code, dogs?
CallerNo, nothing like that — there's parking right outside on the road. That all sounds good.
JanineI'll text the confirmation to the number you're calling from. You're all booked, Dev will be with you tomorrow between 9 and 12. Bye for now.
