What Mobile Owners Should Know
Most ice machine calls in Mobile come down to water supply, scale, drains and pumps, dirty condensers and harvest controls.
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.
