What West Fargo Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in West Fargo 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.
North Dakota's state plumbing license law covers water and drainage piping, not gas; fuel gas and mechanical licenses are issued by individual cities, with Fargo stating that a mechanical, fuel gas or dual license is needed in each jurisdiction where one works.

In North Dakota, you can check a license with the North Dakota Secretary of State FirstStop contractor search or report a problem to the North Dakota Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
