What Rathdrum Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Rathdrum 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.
Idaho's Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses does not list appliance repair as a licensed profession; gas piping and gas appliance work falls under the state's HVAC licensing, which includes specialty licenses for those trades. Source: Is My Profession Licensed? - Idaho DOPL
In Idaho, you can check a license with the Idaho DOPL Search for a License or Registration or report a problem to the Idaho Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
