Door-mounted ice makers on French door refrigerators work differently from the classic ice maker in the freezer, and they freeze up for different reasons. We pull these listings from public business data, remove closed businesses, parts stores and unrelated trades, and put companies that mention ice makers and refrigerators at the top.

Around North Mankato
Most ice maker calls in North Mankato 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.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
