Write for Us: Appliance Repair and Home Appliance Guest Posts
We publish practical appliance guides for homeowners, and we are open to guest contributors who know the subject. If you can explain a repair clearly and back it up, we would like to read your pitch.
Who we are, and who reads this blog
Appliance Repair Fairfield CA is a referral service. We connect homeowners in Fairfield and Solano County, California with local, independent appliance technicians, and we do not perform repairs ourselves. Our blog is broader than our service area. Most of our readers arrive from a search like a specific error code or a symptom, from all over the country, looking for a straight answer about an appliance that has stopped working.
That tells you what works here. Our readers are not browsing. They are standing in front of a broken machine, and they want to know what the code means, whether it is safe, what it is likely to cost, and whether they can do anything about it themselves.
Why contribute
- A credited byline with a short bio that stays on the post permanently.
- Real editing. We will work with you on structure and clarity rather than publishing a draft untouched.
- An audience with high intent, searching for the exact problem you are writing about.
- For technicians and trade professionals, a place to put first hand knowledge that homeowners rarely get told.
What we are looking for
Error codes and fault diagnosis
Brand specific explainers that quote the manufacturer, not guesswork. Our most useful posts are the ones that correct bad information already ranking.
Symptom troubleshooting
A dishwasher that will not drain, a dryer that takes two cycles, a fridge that is warm while the freezer is fine. Walk the reader through the checks in the order a technician would.
Maintenance that actually prevents failures
Vent cleaning, filters, seals, descaling in hard water areas, and the seasonal jobs most owners never do.
Repair or replace decisions
Lifespans, the cost of common parts, energy use, and how to weigh a quote against a new machine.
Installation and setup mistakes
Levelling, drain hose height, water pressure, clearance, and the installation errors that later look like faults.
Safety topics
Gas smells, scorched outlets, overheating ovens, dryer lint fires. These need care and sourcing, and we are strict about them.
Notes from the trade
If you are a working technician, first hand experience is the single most valuable thing you can send us. Tell us what you actually see on service calls.
Water quality and appliances
Scale, sediment, filters, and what hard water does to dishwashers, water heaters, ice makers, and washing machines over time.
Topics we would say yes to today
If you want an easy start, pitch one of these. They are gaps we know we have:
- What a technician checks first on a dishwasher that will not drain
- How to read your appliance model and serial number, and why it matters
- Dryer vent runs: how length and elbows change drying time
- Ice maker problems that are really water supply problems
- What actually fails first on a modern front load washer
- Induction cooktop error codes and what they mean
- How to test an oven temperature sensor, and when not to
- Appliance parts worth buying OEM and parts where aftermarket is fine
Before you pitch, please search our blog to check we have not already covered it. If we have, a genuinely better or more specific angle is still welcome, but tell us what yours adds.
What we publish
- Original writing that has not been published anywhere else, including your own blog or LinkedIn
- At least 1,000 words, and longer when the topic genuinely needs it
- First hand experience or real expertise, especially from working technicians
- Specific, checkable facts sourced to manufacturers, manuals, or government pages such as FoodSafety.gov or the CPSC
- Plain English at roughly an eighth grade reading level, written for a homeowner in a hurry
- A clear structure with descriptive headings, and the answer near the top rather than buried
- Images you own or that are properly licensed, with the source noted
- A short author bio, two to three sentences, with your credentials
What we turn down
- Anything written to place a link rather than to help a reader
- AI generated drafts submitted without real expertise, editing, or fact checking
- Content already published elsewhere, spun, or translated from another article
- Invented statistics, made up error code meanings, or fake reviews and ratings
- Casino, adult, crypto, pharmaceutical, loan, or vape topics, and anything unrelated to appliances and home maintenance
- Affiliate links, tracking links, or links to pages selling links
- Promotion of a competing appliance repair or referral service
- Service promises on our behalf, such as pricing guarantees, response times, or availability claims
Our position on links
We want to be straightforward about this, because it is the first question most people have.
- Every published contributor gets an author bio with one link, normally to your own site or profile.
- Links inside the body of the article are allowed only where they genuinely help the reader, and we decide that during editing.
- We do not sell links, publish sponsored posts dressed up as editorial, or accept payment for placement. If that is what you are looking for, we are not the right site.
- We apply link attributes at our discretion in line with search engine guidelines. Please do not ask us to guarantee a followed link in advance.
None of that is meant to put you off. It means the posts here are written to be read, which is also what makes a byline on this blog worth having.
A note on accuracy, because we are strict about it
Appliance content online is full of confidently wrong information. We have published corrections where a manufacturer's own documentation contradicts what is ranking. So if your article states what an error code means, what a part costs, or how long something lasts, tell us where that came from. Manufacturer manuals, official support pages, and government sources are ideal. We will check.
One house style rule that trips people up: we do not use em dashes anywhere on this site. Use a comma, a full stop, or a plain hyphen instead.
How to submit
- Send a pitch first, not a finished article. Use our contact page and put "Guest Post Pitch" in your message.
- Include: your proposed title, three or four bullet points covering what the article will say, who you are and why you can write it, and one or two links to things you have written before.
- Wait for a yes before writing. We will tell you the angle we want, a rough word count, and anything we need sourced. This saves you writing something we cannot use.
- Send the draft as a document or plain text, with your sources linked inline and your author bio at the end.
- We edit, then publish. We may adjust the headline, structure, and wording to fit our house style. If we make substantive changes to your meaning, we will check with you first.
We read everything, but we are a small operation, so please give us a couple of weeks before following up. If you do not hear back after that, a polite nudge through the contact page is fine.
One compliance note. This site operates as a referral service under advertising rules we have to follow. That means published articles cannot promise service availability, response times, prices, or outcomes on our behalf, and cannot include reviews or star ratings. Our editors will adjust any wording that crosses those lines.
Frequently asked questions
Do you accept guest posts?
Yes. We accept guest posts about appliance repair, troubleshooting, maintenance, and home appliance ownership. We ask for a short pitch first so we can agree the angle before you write.
Is there a fee to submit a guest post?
No. We do not charge for publication and we do not pay for submissions. We also do not accept payment for links or sponsored placements.
Can I include a link to my website?
Every published contributor gets an author bio with one link. Links inside the article are allowed only where they genuinely help the reader, and link attributes are applied at our discretion in line with search engine guidelines.
Do you accept AI generated content?
Not as a substitute for expertise. We are looking for first hand knowledge and checkable sources. If a draft reads as generic text with invented details, we will turn it down.
How long should the article be?
At least 1,000 words, and longer where the topic needs it. Depth matters more than word count, and we would rather have 1,200 useful words than 2,000 padded ones.
Do I need to be an appliance technician to contribute?
No, though working technicians are especially welcome. If you are a writer rather than a tradesperson, we will expect careful sourcing from manufacturer documentation and other reliable references.
How long does it take to hear back?
Please allow a couple of weeks. We read every pitch, but we are a small team and we prioritise pitches that clearly fit the topics listed above.
Can I republish the article on my own site later?
We ask for the piece to stay exclusive to us. Republishing the same article elsewhere splits the audience and can cause duplicate content problems for both of us. You are welcome to link to it and quote from it.
