Local Notes for Cleveland
Cleveland Water (City of Cleveland Department of Public Utilities, Division of Water), which supplies Cleveland, reports hardness of about 120 mg/L as calcium carbonate (7 grains per gallon); moderately hard. Hard water leaves spots and film on glasses and builds up on dishwasher spray arms and inlet screens, which is worth mentioning when you book a repair. Source: FAQs - Cleveland Water
Ohio has no state license for appliance repair; the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board licenses commercial contractors in plumbing, hydronics, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical, and residential contractor work is generally overseen locally.

In Ohio, you can check a license with the Ohio Department of Commerce OCILB Company Licensee Lookup or report a problem to the Ohio Attorney General, Consumer Protection Section.
