Dryer Notes for Fountain, CO
Most dryer calls in Fountain 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.
Colorado's Division of Professions and Occupations has no appliance repair license; its trade licenses cover plumbing and electrical work. Source: Occupational Professions (Colorado DORA Division of Professions and Occupations)
State law treats fuel gas piping separately from plumbing and has the State Plumbing Board adopt a Colorado fuel gas code for inspecting gas piping installations; hooking a gas appliance to an existing service connection falls outside the statute's definition of gas piping.
