Commercial washers run many more cycles than a home machine and add coin or card systems, heavier drives and, on larger machines, bolted-down frames that home models do not have. The Duluth list below starts with companies that mention commercial, laundromat or multifamily laundry work within a longer drive, followed by the nearest appliance repair companies.

Laundry Notes for Duluth, MN
Most washer calls in Duluth 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.
