Local Notes for Reno
Most ice maker calls in Reno 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.
Nevada has no license class for appliance repair as such; contracting work on gas piping, gas vents and water heaters falls under the State Contractors Board's C-1 plumbing and heating subclassifications. Source: Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 624 (NAC 624.190)
