Getting Ready for the Repair

- How long the vent run is and where it exits the house
What Williamsburg Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Williamsburg 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.
Kentucky has no license category for appliance repair as such; the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction licenses trades such as HVAC (whose scope covers installing and repairing heating, burner and cooling systems), plumbing and electrical.

In Kentucky, you can check a license with the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction License Search and Verification or report a problem to the Kentucky Attorney General, Office of Consumer Protection.
Hiring a Dryer Repair Company in Williamsburg
- Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?

- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
