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).
