What Portland Owners Should Know
Most wine cooler calls in Portland 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. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
Before You Book in Portland
- Is the technician certified to handle refrigerant if the compressor side needs work?
- Do you work on my wine cooler brand, and on built-in as well as freestanding units?
- Can you tell on the phone whether my unit is compressor or thermoelectric, and does that change the repair?
