What Eau Claire Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Eau Claire 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Questions to Ask a Eau Claire Washer Technician
- If the problem turns out to be the supply valves or the standpipe, do you handle that or should I call a plumber?
- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
- Will you check the drain pump filter and drain hose before replacing the pump?
