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

- What happens when you press Start (no response, hum, runs with no heat, stops early)
What Alice Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Alice most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
How to Choose a Dryer Technician Near Alice
- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?

- Can you look at the washer on the same visit if it is acting up too?
