An ice maker needs three things: water at enough pressure, a freezer cold enough to freeze it and a working mechanism to harvest the cubes. Most repairs fix one of those three. 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.

What El Paso Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in El Paso 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.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, ยง1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
