What Dover Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Dover 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 New Hampshire, you can check a license with the NH Office of Professional Licensure and Certification License Lookup or report a problem to the New Hampshire Department of Justice, Consumer Protection & Antitrust Bureau.
