What Frigidaire Says to Check First
- Ice maker leaking. Pull the unit out and check the water connections and valve at the back for moisture, then make sure the water filter is seated and not cracked. Source: Frigidaire - Refrigerator Water Leaks

Hawaii has no appliance repair license classification; the Contractors License Board's specialty classifications cover related trades such as plumbing (including fuel gas piping), refrigeration, and ventilating and air conditioning, and a contractor license applies to jobs that need a building, electrical or plumbing permit.

In Hawaii, you can check a license with the Hawaii DCCA Professional and Vocational Licensing public license search or report a problem to the Hawaii DCCA Regulated Industries Complaints Office (RICO).
