What Smithfield Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Smithfield 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.
Utah has no contractor classification for appliance repair, but under the Construction Trades Licensing Act anyone who installs, repairs or replaces a residential or commercial gas appliance must hold natural gas technician certification, even on jobs otherwise too small to need a contractor license. Source: Utah Legislature H.B. 49 (2004), Natural Gas Technician Certification, amending Utah Code 58-55-305 and 58-55-308
In Utah, you can check a license with the Utah Licensee Lookup and Verification (Verify a License) or report a problem to the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Consumer Protection.

- If a part has to be ordered, how soon can you come back to finish?
