Dryer Notes for Lee Acres, NM
Most dryer calls in Lee Acres 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.
Natural gas piping and gas appliance work needs a Construction Industries Division MM-2 (natural gas fitting) or MM-98 (mechanical) license, with journeyman gas fitter certification for workers; the plumbing-only MM-1 class excludes gas appliances and gas piping, and LP gas systems fall under a separate LP gas classification.
