Freezer and Ice Maker Notes for Medford, MA
Most wine cooler calls in Medford come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Massachusetts does not issue a separate appliance repair license; running fuel gas piping to appliances and installing their vent piping is gas fitting work that requires a license from the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters.

In Massachusetts, you can check a license with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure eLIPSE license verification portal or report a problem to the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, Consumer Advocacy and Response Division.
