Around Ephrata
Most dryer calls in Ephrata 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.
Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.
