What Yorketown Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Yorketown 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.
New Jersey has no license specific to appliance repair; plumbing work is reserved to state-licensed master plumbers, and gas piping work on the customer side of the meter falls under HVACR contractor licensing, both overseen by boards in the Division of Consumer Affairs.

In New Jersey, you can check a license with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs License Verification System or report a problem to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs.
