Laundry Notes for Centerville, SC
Most washer calls in Centerville 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.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.
