What Cedar Hills Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Cedar Hills 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.
Businesses that install, alter or repair LP gas appliances, piping or vent connections need an LP gas installation license, and the individuals doing the work need a fitter license, both from the Oregon State Fire Marshal; natural gas licensing was not confirmed.
