Getting Ready for the Repair
- The brand, model and serial number from the label inside the lid, around the door opening or on the back of the cabinet

- What happens during the cycle (no start, no fill, no drain, no spin, leaks, noise)
What Methuen Town Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Methuen Town 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.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
