Local Notes for Enola
Most dryer calls in Enola 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.

In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
