What Nashville Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Nashville 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.
North Carolina has no license specific to appliance repair; work on gas appliances, fuel piping and heating equipment is regulated by the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating, and Fire Sprinkler Contractors, with an exemption for minor repairs that don't change fuel type, venting or piping.

In North Carolina, you can check a license with the NC Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Board public license search or report a problem to the North Carolina Department of Justice, Consumer Protection Division.
