Local Notes for Dickinson
Most freezer calls in Dickinson come down to the same handful of parts: the defrost system, a fan, the temperature control, the door gasket and dirty condenser coils.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.

In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
