What Waldorf Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Waldorf 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.
Maryland does not issue a separate appliance repair license; the Maryland Board of Plumbing licenses plumbers, natural gas fitters and propane gas fitters, whose trades cover gas connections. Source: License Requirements - Maryland Board of Plumbing (Maryland Department of Labor)
In Maryland, you can check a license with the Maryland Department of Labor occupational license search (Board of Plumbing) or report a problem to the Maryland Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
