Testing or Resetting an LG Ice Maker

New Jersey has no license specific to appliance repair; plumbing work is reserved to state-licensed master plumbers, and gas piping work on the customer side of the meter falls under HVACR contractor licensing, both overseen by boards in the Division of Consumer Affairs.
