Around Mission Bend
Most wine cooler calls in Mission Bend come down to airflow and clearance, fans, the door seal, the controls and, on thermoelectric units, the cooling module.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license.
