Ice machines make clear ice by running water over a cold plate or grid, and that water leaves minerals behind, which is why cleaning and descaling come up on so many repair calls. We pull these listings from public business data, remove closed businesses, parts stores and unrelated trades, and put companies that mention ice machines and refrigeration at the top.

Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.
