The Highlands list starts with companies that name KitchenAid, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on ice makers and freezers.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with KitchenAid, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.

What Highlands Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Highlands 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.
