What Old Town Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Old Town come down to the same handful of parts: the filter and drain path, the drain pump, the inlet valve, the door latch and the heating parts.
Maine has no general appliance repair license, but installing or servicing propane and natural gas appliances requires a Maine Fuel Board propane and natural gas technician license with an appliance connection and service authorization.

In Maine, you can check a license with the Maine Professional and Financial Regulation Licensee Search or report a problem to the Maine Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
