Before the Visit
- The washer's brand and model number

What Sanford Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Sanford most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
