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 Kent list below starts with companies that mention commercial, laundromat or multifamily laundry work within a longer drive, followed by the nearest appliance repair companies.

How Laundromat Washer Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Laundromat Washer
- Leaks under the machine or around the door
- Machine stops mid-cycle with an error
- Clothes come out soaking wet
- Machine will not start from coin or card
Commercial laundry machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.

Local Notes for Kent
Most washer calls in Kent 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.
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.

In Ohio, you can check a license with the Ohio Department of Commerce OCILB Company Licensee Lookup or report a problem to the Ohio Attorney General, Consumer Protection Section.
