Most visits cover one machine; mention both if both are acting up. More: dryer not drying and dryer not spinning.

- Whether the dryer is gas or electric
Dryer Notes for Danbury, CT
City of Danbury Water Department, which supplies Danbury, reports hardness of about 82-96 ppm (moderately hard). Minerals affect how detergent works and can build up on washer inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a washer repair. Source: 2015 Consumer Confidence Report - City of Danbury
Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection does not list a separate appliance repair license; work on gas piping, approved gas appliances and refrigeration systems falls under its heating, piping and cooling license categories.
