What Valley Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Valley come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines.
