What Dover Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Dover most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
New Hampshire has no license for appliance repair as such; fuel gas work, including gas appliance installation and service, is licensed by the Mechanical Safety and Licensing Board, whose licenses are limited to their named specialty. Source: N.H. RSA 153:29 (NH General Court)
In New Hampshire, you can check a license with the NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification License Lookup or report a problem to the New Hampshire Department of Justice, Consumer Protection & Antitrust Bureau.
