What to Have Ready
- The washer's brand and model number
- Whether it is a top-loader or front-loader
- Whether it is a stacked pair or a laundry center
- What happens when you press Start (no response, hum, runs with no heat, stops early)
- The brand, model and serial number from the label inside the door or on the back panel
What Newton Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Newton most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
New Jersey has no license specific to appliance repair; plumbing work is reserved to state-licensed master plumbers, and gas piping work on the customer side of the meter falls under HVACR contractor licensing, both overseen by boards in the Division of Consumer Affairs.

In New Jersey, you can check a license with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs License Verification System or report a problem to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs.

Have both model numbers ready and describe what each machine does. Mention a stacked pair, since that changes how the Newton technician gets at the parts.
