    Questions & answers

    Is there a dryer that can be stacked on this washer? Caity · 2023-07-08
    Good Morning, We appreciate your product inquiry. It's important to note that not all washers can accommodate a dryer above them due to their limited depth. In the case of the Akai washer, its design does not provide sufficient depth for a dryer to be placed on top. However, these machines are excellently designed for compact spaces where depth is a concern. We hope this information is helpful to you. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at 1300-000-500. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    Is it convenient for repairment if the washer broken? Whether i can get repairment right away or i have to wait for some time? Anonymous · 2022-08-20
    Good Morning Thank you for this product question, with any brand, make or model of major appliance that requires an in-home service this will need to be booked with the closest service agent in your area, once the supplier sends a service request to them that service agent will book in with you the earliest available date that they are able to service your machine, the waiting time will depend on your location, how busy the agent is, however a normal turn around time for most companies 3-7 working days. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    Is the 3 year warranty included in the price? Dean · 2022-05-29
    Good Morning, Thank you for this product question Yes this comes with a 3-year warranty on all parts & labour, simply keep your Tax invoice in a safe place as proof of purchase and if you need service in the future you need to provide the Tax invoice as proof of purchase. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
    Is it a standard 3 year warranty that comes with it.. Dean · 2022-05-29

On our website, we also include the supplier's user manual that provides extra information on how to use and care for your new machine I'll attach the manual below for you to download: https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/public/manuals/AK-FL8S-Akai-User-Manual.pdf I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances online.
