Local Notes for Florence
Most washer calls in Florence 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.
Arizona has no appliance-repair-specific license; work is regulated through Registrar of Contractors classifications, and state law removes the small-job (under $1,000) handyman exemption for any work connecting or repairing appliances on natural gas or propane.

In Arizona, you can check a license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Contractor Search or report a problem to the Arizona Attorney General Consumer Protection.
