What Union Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Union 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.
Kentucky has no license category for appliance repair as such; the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction licenses trades such as HVAC (whose scope covers installing and repairing heating, burner and cooling systems), plumbing and electrical.

In Kentucky, you can check a license with the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction License Search and Verification or report a problem to the Kentucky Attorney General, Office of Consumer Protection.

- If the washer is leaking, will you find where the water starts before quoting a part?
