Laundry Notes for Frisco, TX
City of Frisco (treated water purchased from North Texas Municipal Water District), which supplies Frisco, reports hardness of about 96-200 mg/L as CaCO3 depending on the supplying treatment plant (moderately hard to hard). Hard water leaves scale on washer inlet screens and heating parts and calls for the right detergent dose, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: City of Frisco Annual Water Quality Report
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, ยง1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
How to Choose a Washing Machine Technician Near Frisco

- Will you check the drain pump filter and drain hose before replacing the pump?
