What Minneapolis Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Minneapolis 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.
Minnesota has no state license for mechanical contractors or their workers; businesses contracting for gas, heating, cooling or refrigeration work file a mechanical contractor bond with the Department of Labor and Industry, and some cities require their own licenses or competency cards.

In Minnesota, you can check a license with the DLI License and Registration Lookup or report a problem to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office, Consumer Assistance.
Before You Book in Minneapolis
- Will you check the water supply, filter and inlet valve before replacing the ice maker?
- Do you also repair the water dispenser and supply line?
- Can you get the ice maker assembly or valve for my model quickly?
