Around Meridian
Most washer calls in Meridian 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.
Idaho's Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses does not list appliance repair as a licensed profession; gas piping and gas appliance work falls under the state's HVAC licensing, which includes specialty licenses for those trades. Source: Is My Profession Licensed? - Idaho DOPL
In Idaho, you can check a license with the Idaho DOPL Search for a License or Registration or report a problem to the Idaho Attorney General Consumer Protection Division.
