What Montpelier Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Montpelier 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.
No separate Vermont appliance repair license was identified, but anyone who installs, inspects or services natural gas or propane systems, including appliances, must hold a gas certification from the Division of Fire Safety. Source: Vermont Division of Fire Safety: Natural and LP Gas Certifications
In Vermont, you can check a license with the DFS Licensing MasterList (Vermont Open Data: licensed electricians, plumbers and gas certifications) or report a problem to the Vermont Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance Program.
