Ice Maker Safety Notes
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)

Freezer and Ice Maker Notes for La Crosse, WI
Most ice maker calls in La Crosse 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.
Wisconsin has no separate appliance repair license; plumbing licensing covers appliances connected to water supply systems, including water heaters, but exempts minor repairs to appliances and repair or replacement of gas or electrical control valves and devices.

In Wisconsin, you can check a license with the Wisconsin DSPS LicensE credential lookup or report a problem to the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP), Bureau of Consumer Protection.
