Alaska has no separate appliance repair license category; its certificates of fitness and contractor licenses cover plumbing, gas piping, electrical and construction work rather than appliance repair itself. Source: Mechanical Inspection - License Requirements (Alaska DOLWD)
In Alaska, you can check a license with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing - License Search or report a problem to the Alaska Department of Law, Attorney General's Consumer Protection Unit.
