What a Technician Checks on the Washer
The Dryer Side of the Call
Lint, Vents and Fire Safety
Clothes that are still damp after a normal cycle, longer-than-usual drying times, or little exhaust air coming out of the outside vent while the dryer runs can all point to a blocked lint screen or exhaust duct.

Under the model residential code approach, a 4-inch dryer exhaust duct is limited to 35 feet of equivalent length, minus 2.5 feet for each 45-degree bend and 5 feet for each 90-degree bend, unless the dryer manufacturer's installation instructions set a different maximum.

Local Notes for Tucson
Tucson Water (City of Tucson), which supplies Tucson, reports hardness of naturally hard groundwater, with hardness rising where more Central Arizona Project water is blended in; the city publishes no single figure. Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: Hard Water - City of Tucson
Arizona has no appliance-repair-specific license; work is regulated through Registrar of Contractors classifications, and state law removes the small-job (under $1,000) handyman exemption for any work connecting or repairing appliances on natural gas or propane.

In Arizona, you can check a license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Contractor Search or report a problem to the Arizona Attorney General Consumer Protection.
How to Choose a Washing Machine Technician Near Tucson
- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
- If the washer is leaking, will you find where the water starts before quoting a part?
- If the problem turns out to be the supply valves or the standpipe, do you handle that or should I call a plumber?
