Most washing machine breakdowns trace back to a short list of parts: the drain pump and its filter, the lid switch or door lock, the drive belt or motor coupling, the inlet valve and the suspension. We pull these listings from public business data, remove closed businesses, parts stores and unrelated trades, and put companies that mention washers at the top.

If Your Washer Is Leaking

What Miami Shores Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Miami Shores 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.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
