Have These Handy
- 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
- 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)
Local Notes for Ashland
Washer calls in Ashland most often involve drain pumps and filters, lid or door locks, inlet valves and worn suspension parts.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
