Water Lines and Leaks
Use copper or PEX tubing for the ice maker connection; polyethylene tubing and piercing-type or small saddle valves are not recommended because they restrict flow and clog more easily. Source: Whirlpool - Modular Ice Maker Kit Installation Instructions (W11548724)
Wine coolers and beverage centers call for a dedicated, properly grounded 115-volt, 15-amp outlet, not a GFI circuit or a switch-controlled outlet. Source: Frigidaire - Wine Cooler Use & Care Guide (A15310502)

Local Notes for Murillo
Most ice maker calls in Murillo 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.
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.
