What Clayton Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Clayton 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.
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.
