What Talladega Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Talladega come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
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. Source: Code of Alabama 1975, Section 34-31-18 et seq. (Alabama Board of Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Contractors)
In Alabama, you can check a license with the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board Individual Licensee Search or report a problem to the Alabama Attorney General's Office, Consumer Interest Division.
