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)
Standard refrigerators should not be installed where temperatures drop below about 60°F or exceed 110°F; cold thickens compressor oil and heat can break it down and damage the sealed system. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Installation Location and Temperature

What Richmond Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Richmond 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.
