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.

Around Poteau

Oklahoma has no general appliance repair license; mechanical licensing through the Construction Industries Board excludes minor repairs the manufacturer allows an owner or agent to make, but that exclusion does not reach gas piping, gas controls, appliance venting or opening a sealed refrigeration system.
