Local Notes for Lexington
Most dishwasher calls in Lexington 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.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.
