What Bloomington Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Bloomington 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.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards. Source: DLI: Mechanical contractor bond requirements
In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
Hiring a Dryer Repair Company in Bloomington
- Can you look at the washer on the same visit if it is acting up too?
- Will you check the vent and lint path as part of the visit?
- If a part has to be ordered, how soon can you come back to finish?
