What Southside Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Southside most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.
