Laundry Notes for Reno, NV
Most washer calls in Reno 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.
Nevada has no license class for appliance repair as such; contracting work on gas piping, gas vents and water heaters falls under the State Contractors Board's C-1 plumbing and heating subclassifications. Source: Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 624 (NAC 624.190)
In Nevada, you can check a license with the Nevada State Contractors Board License Search or report a problem to the Nevada Attorney General, Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Questions to Ask a Reno Washer Technician
- What is the service call or diagnostic fee, and is it applied to the repair?
- Will you check the drain pump filter and drain hose before replacing the pump?
- If the problem turns out to be the supply valves or the standpipe, do you handle that or should I call a plumber?
