Refrigerant and Sealed-System Work
Refrigerant must be recovered before a refrigerator or freezer is scrapped; the final disposer in the disposal chain is responsible for recovery, and some municipalities will not pick up appliances until it has been removed. Source: U.S. EPA - Appliance Disposal
Wine coolers and beverage centers call for a dedicated, properly grounded 115-volt, 15-amp outlet, not a GFI circuit or a switch-controlled outlet. Source: Frigidaire - Wine Cooler Use & Care Guide (A15310502)

What Passaic Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Passaic come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
New Jersey has no license specific to appliance repair; plumbing work is reserved to state-licensed master plumbers, and gas piping work on the customer side of the meter falls under HVACR contractor licensing, both overseen by boards in the Division of Consumer Affairs.

In New Jersey, you can check a license with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs License Verification System or report a problem to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs.
