Before the Visit
- The washer's brand and model number
- Whether it is a top-loader or front-loader

- The brand, model and serial number from the label inside the door or on the back panel
- What happens when you press Start (no response, hum, runs with no heat, stops early)
Around Decatur
Washer calls in Decatur 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.

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.
