Getting Ready for the Repair

What Wake Forest Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Wake Forest come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
North Carolina has no license specific to appliance repair; work on gas appliances, fuel piping and heating equipment is regulated by the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating, and Fire Sprinkler Contractors, with an exemption for minor repairs that don't change fuel type, venting or piping. Source: N.C. Gen. Stat. § 87-21 (NC General Assembly)
In North Carolina, you can check a license with the NC Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Board public license search or report a problem to the North Carolina Department of Justice, Consumer Protection Division.
