What Kingston Owners Should Know
Most dishwasher calls in Kingston 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.
Rhode Island does not issue a license named for appliance repair, but its Department of Labor and Training licenses pipefitters and refrigeration technicians, including a limited natural gas service license that covers servicing gas-fueled appliances.

In Rhode Island, you can check a license with the Contractors' Registration and Licensing Board: Search a Registrant/Licensee or report a problem to the Rhode Island Attorney General, Consumer Protection Unit.
