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.

Local Notes for Kiel
Most ice machine calls in Kiel come down to water supply, scale, drains and pumps, dirty condensers and harvest controls.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
