We flag companies whose listing or website mentions Frigidaire and fill in with nearby appliance repair companies so you always have options.

What Hilo Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Hilo 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.
Hawaii has no appliance repair license classification; the Contractors License Board's specialty classifications cover related trades such as plumbing (including fuel gas piping), refrigeration, and ventilating and air conditioning, and a contractor license applies to jobs that need a building, electrical or plumbing permit. Source: Description of Contractor License Classifications (Hawaii DCCA Contractors License Board)
In Hawaii, you can check a license with the Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing public license search or report a problem to the Hawaii DCCA Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO).
