Dishwasher Notes for McAlester, OK
Most dishwasher calls in McAlester 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.
Oklahoma has no general appliance repair license; mechanical licensing through the Construction Industries Board excludes minor repairs the manufacturer allows an owner or agent to make, but that exclusion does not reach gas piping, gas controls, appliance venting or opening a sealed refrigeration system.

In Oklahoma, you can check a license with the Oklahoma Construction Industries Board Licensee Search or report a problem to the Oklahoma Attorney General, Consumer Protection Unit.
