How Laundromat Washer Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Laundromat Washer
- Machine will not start from coin or card

Ask any company you call which commercial brands and machine types it services, such as top-load coin machines, front-load washers or washer-extractors.

Around Winthrop
Most washer calls in Winthrop 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.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
