What Cayce Owners Should Know
Most freezer calls in Cayce come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
South Carolina does not issue a license specific to appliance repair; mechanical work such as plumbing, heating, air conditioning and refrigeration is licensed by the Contractor's Licensing Board for commercial-scale jobs and by the Residential Builders Commission for residential HVAC and plumbing.

In South Carolina, you can check a license with the SC LLR License Lookup or report a problem to the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs.
