What Alva Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Alva 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.
Oklahoma has no general appliance repair license; mechanical licensing through the Construction Industries Board excludes minor repairs the manufacturer allows an owner or agent to make, but that exclusion does not reach gas piping, gas controls, appliance venting or opening a sealed refrigeration system. Source: OAC 158:50 Mechanical Industry Rules (Oklahoma Construction Industries Board)
In Oklahoma, you can check a license with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board Licensee Search or report a problem to the Oklahoma Attorney General, Consumer Protection Unit.
Questions to Ask a Alva Technician
