- What happens when you press Start (no response, hum, runs with no heat, stops early)
What Madison Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Madison most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
Indiana licenses plumbers statewide through the Indiana Plumbing Commission but has no statewide HVAC technician license, so heating and mechanical contractor licensing, including gas appliance work, is set by individual counties and cities.

In Indiana, you can check a license with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency License Verification or report a problem to the Indiana Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
