What Marlin Owners Should Know
Washer calls in Marlin 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.

Gas piping counts as plumbing in Texas and requires a plumbing license, with an exemption for LP gas installers who hold a separate state LP gas license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §§1301.002, 1301.055 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
Questions to Ask a Marlin Technician
- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
- Do you work on gas dryers, and who handles anything involving the gas line?
- Can you look at the washer on the same visit if it is acting up too?
