What to Have Ready
- The washer's brand and model number

- Any error code on the display
- What happens when you press Start (no response, hum, runs with no heat, stops early)
What Pleasant Hill Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Pleasant Hill most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
Iowa does not issue a general appliance repair technician license; the Plumbing and Mechanical Systems Board licenses plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration and hydronic work, and state law carves out a special restricted license only for utility employees who repair appliances.

In Iowa, you can check a license with the Iowa DIAL Find a Record or License (Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Board public search) or report a problem to the Iowa Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
Questions to Ask a Pleasant Hill Technician
- Can you look at the washer on the same visit if it is acting up too?
