What Sandy Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Sandy 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.
Utah has no contractor classification for appliance repair, but under the Construction Trades Licensing Act anyone who installs, repairs or replaces a residential or commercial gas appliance must hold natural gas technician certification, even on jobs otherwise too small to need a contractor license.

In Utah, you can check a license with the Utah Licensee Lookup and Verification (Verify a License) or report a problem to the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Consumer Protection.
