What Detroit Lakes Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Detroit Lakes 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.
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.

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.

- What guarantee do you give on parts and labor?
- If the problem turns out to be the supply valves or the standpipe, do you handle that or should I call a plumber?
- If the washer is leaking, will you find where the water starts before quoting a part?
