What Moody Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Moody come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.

Gas fitting work in Alabama requires a state gas fitter license from the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board, which tests competency before anyone performs, supervises or contracts gas fitting. Source: About the Board - Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board
