What Sangaree Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Sangaree 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.
South Carolina has no standalone gas piping license; gas lines serving gas-fired equipment are installed under mechanical classifications such as Plumbing, Heating and Packaged Equipment issued through the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation.

In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
