What Speed Queen Says to Check First
- Dryer won't start. Speed Queen says to check that the plug is seated, the door is closed and the timer knob is pushed in, then check fuses or breakers and wait 10 minutes if the motor overload has tripped. Source: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) - User's Guide for Dryers
- Clothes wrinkled. Speed Queen recommends a lower heat setting to avoid over-drying and smaller loads so items can tumble freely. Source: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) - User's Guide for Dryers

What Little Canada Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Little Canada 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.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
