The licensing and permit requirements for repairing or installing new appliances, including washing machines and clothes dryers, may vary depending on where you live. Generally, if the appliance is plugged into a receptacle with a cord, you won't need to hire a professional to do the job. But if your current washer or dryer is hard-wired, you may need to hire a certified electrician or electrical contractor to repair the appliance or install a new one.
