Every hour a commercial dryer sits idle costs a laundromat or property manager money, so the technician you call needs to know heavy-duty equipment. The Watertown list below starts with companies that mention commercial, laundromat or multifamily work within a longer drive, followed by the nearest appliance repair companies.
