Washers and dryers are usually bought as a pair and often wear out on a similar schedule, so it helps to call a company that works on both. Companies that mention laundry work come first, then other appliance repair companies near Orlando, with distances and public ratings.

What Orlando Owners Should Know
Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), which supplies Orlando, reports hardness of 129 mg/L average (about 7 grains per gallon) — hard. 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: OUC: Water Quality Reports
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
