What East Providence Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in East Providence 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.
Rhode Island does not issue a license named for appliance repair, but its Department of Labor and Training licenses pipefitters and refrigeration technicians, including a limited natural gas service license that covers servicing gas-fueled appliances.
