Dryer Notes for Chelsea, MA
Most dryer calls in Chelsea 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.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. Source: Plumbers and gas fitters consumer fact sheet (Mass.gov)
In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
Questions to Ask a Chelsea Technician
