Washers fail in fairly predictable ways, which is good news: many repairs are a single part that a technician can replace in one visit. 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.

What Hillsboro Owners Should Know
Most washer calls in Hillsboro 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.
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.
