The simple solution is to take this to Fair Trading for mediation , as an obligatory precursor to action at NCAT under section 138 calling for an dore to maintian and repair common property.
But I am confused about who the “the Strata agency who has the account to the apartment building” is. Is this the strata manager? If so, send the strata manager and/or your committee a letter stating that you insist that the tumble dryer be repaired or replaced, on the grounds that you mention (it’s not working properly and it’s a fire risk) and tell them that is they haven’t remedied this within two months you will commence proceedings at Fair Trading and, if need be, NCAT.
Point out that the Owners Corporation has a legally binding duty to maintain and repair common property and that previous efforts to do so have failed. They need to act now or risk added expense of costs being awarded at NCAT.
