A Kenmore ice maker shares its basic needs with every other ice maker, cold air, water and a working mechanism, but where it sits, how it is reset and the codes it shows are specific to the brand and model. Below are independent repair companies serving Chandler, with those that mention Kenmore first, then the nearest appliance repair companies.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Kenmore, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.
With a Kenmore refrigerator or freezer, the model number matters more than the badge: Kenmore appliances were built by several manufacturers for Sears, and the model number tells a technician which ice maker and parts apply.

What Chandler Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Chandler 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.
Arizona has no appliance-repair-specific license; work is regulated through Registrar of Contractors classifications, and state law removes the small-job (under $1,000) handyman exemption for any work connecting or repairing appliances on natural gas or propane.

In Arizona, you can check a license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors Contractor Search or report a problem to the Arizona Attorney General Consumer Protection.
