What Providence Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Providence 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.
Rhode Island does not issue a license named for appliance repair, but its Department of Labor and Training licenses pipefitters and refrigeration technicians, including a limited natural gas service license that covers servicing gas-fueled appliances.
