What St. Matthews Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in St. Matthews 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.
Kentucky has no license category for appliance repair as such; the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction licenses trades such as HVAC (whose scope covers installing and repairing heating, burner and cooling systems), plumbing and electrical.
