What Brazil Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Brazil 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.
In Indiana, you can check a license with the Indiana Professional Licensing Agency License Verification or report a problem to the Indiana Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
Questions to Ask a Brazil Washer Technician
- Will you check the drain pump filter and drain hose before replacing the pump?
- Is your company licensed where my state requires it, and insured?
- If the problem turns out to be the supply valves or the standpipe, do you handle that or should I call a plumber?
