What Shawnee Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Shawnee 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.
Oklahoma has no general appliance repair license; mechanical licensing through the Construction Industries Board excludes minor repairs the manufacturer allows an owner or agent to make, but that exclusion does not reach gas piping, gas controls, appliance venting or opening a sealed refrigeration system.

Natural gas piping work requires a Natural Gas Piping mechanical license or a plumbing license issued by the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board. Source: OAC 158:50 Mechanical Industry Rules (Oklahoma Construction Industries Board)
