What Oak Ridge Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Oak Ridge come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
North Carolina has no license specific to appliance repair; work on gas appliances, fuel piping and heating equipment is regulated by the State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating, and Fire Sprinkler Contractors, with an exemption for minor repairs that don't change fuel type, venting or piping. Source: N.C. Gen. Stat. § 87-21 (NC General Assembly)
In North Carolina, you can check a license with the NC Plumbing, Heating and Fire Sprinkler Board public license search or report a problem to the North Carolina Department of Justice, Consumer Protection Division.
