Around Duluth
Most dishwasher calls in Duluth 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.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
