Around Tea
Most dryer calls in Tea 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 South Dakota, you can check a license with the South Dakota Plumbing Commission lists of licensees (specialty licensees, including appliance) or report a problem to the South Dakota Attorney General, Division of Consumer Protection.
