What Augusta Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Augusta 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.
Maine has no general appliance repair license, but installing or servicing propane and natural gas appliances requires a Maine Fuel Board propane and natural gas technician license with an appliance connection and service authorization.

In Maine, you can check a license with the Maine Professional and Financial Regulation Licensee Search or report a problem to the Maine Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
