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

What Washington Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Washington 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.
Hiring a Dryer Repair Company in Washington
- Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
