What Sweetwater Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Sweetwater 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.
Tennessee's Board for Licensing Contractors does not list an appliance repair license among the licenses it issues (general contractor, home improvement, limited licensed electrician and limited licensed plumber). Source: TN Board for Licensing Contractors
In Tennessee, you can check a license with the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance: Verify a License or report a problem to the Tennessee Division of Consumer Affairs (Office of the Attorney General).
