What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- Washer draining slowly. Clear kinks or clogs in the drain hose, check standpipe height and diameter, and cut back on excess detergent. Source: Frigidaire - What should I do if my washer is draining slowly?

Local Notes for Sarasota
Most washer calls in Sarasota 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.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
