Local Notes for Litchfield
Most dryer calls in Litchfield 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.
The state does not license gas fitters; contractors doing gas work must be bonded with the Department of Labor and Industry, and cities such as Minneapolis and St. Paul set their own gas fitter licensing. Source: DLI: Mechanical contractor bond requirements
In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
