Local Notes for Mesa
Most dryer calls in Mesa 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.
Arizona has no appliance-repair-specific license; work is regulated through Registrar of Contractors classifications, and state law removes the small-job (under $1,000) handyman exemption for any work connecting or repairing appliances on natural gas or propane.

In Arizona, you can check a license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Contractor Search or report a problem to the Arizona Attorney General Consumer Protection.
