Washers and dryers are usually bought as a pair and often wear out on a similar schedule, so it helps to call a company that works on both. The Monroe list below starts with companies whose listings mention washer or dryer work, followed by other appliance repair companies nearby.

What Monroe Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Monroe 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
