Local Notes for Shawnee
Most dryer calls in Shawnee 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.
Kansas leaves contractor and trade licensing, including plumbing and HVAC, to cities and counties, so who may do gas piping and gas appliance connections depends on the local jurisdiction. Source: Kansas Business Center: Business Starter Kit, Construction
In Kansas, you can report a problem to the Kansas Attorney General Public Protection Division (Consumer Protection).
