Know Your Amana Dryer
What Makes Amana Dryer Repairs Different

- Squealing, thumping or grinding while it runs

What Cottonwood Heights Owners Should Know

Utah has no contractor classification for appliance repair, but under the Construction Trades Licensing Act anyone who installs, repairs or replaces a residential or commercial gas appliance must hold natural gas technician certification, even on jobs otherwise too small to need a contractor license.
