Around Coeur d'Alene
Most dryer calls in Coeur d'Alene 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.
Idaho treats gas piping, gas appliances and their venting as HVAC work licensed by the state through DOPL, with specialty HVAC licenses available for gas piping or gas appliances alone and a limited heating specialty for propane-fired appliances.

Idaho's Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses does not list appliance repair as a licensed profession; gas piping and gas appliance work falls under the state's HVAC licensing, which includes specialty licenses for those trades. Source: Is My Profession Licensed? - Idaho DOPL
