Never turn back on gas that was shut off for safety, and have gas line work done by a licensed plumber or the gas company. Source: Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority - What To Do If You Smell Natural Gas

What Somers Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Somers 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
