What Bethlehem Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Bethlehem come down to the same handful of parts: the drain pump and filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or coupler, the inlet valve and the suspension.
Pennsylvania has no statewide license for appliance repair or for most construction trades; contractors doing home improvement work must register with the Attorney General, and some municipalities license trades such as plumbing.

In Pennsylvania, you can check a license with the PA Office of Attorney General Home Improvement Contractor Registration Search or report a problem to the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
