Kenmore owners in Apollo Beach usually want two things from a repair company: experience with the brand and quick access to parts. The Apollo Beach list starts with companies that name Kenmore, followed by other appliance repair companies that list dryer work.
Washer and Dryer Repair is independent and not affiliated with Kenmore. Listed companies are independent technicians who repair Kenmore dryers and other brands.
Kenmore dryers were made for Sears by several manufacturers over the years, so the model number matters more than the badge. Independent technicians can look up the parts from it.

Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
