Kenmore says refrigerators with an in-door ice dispenser or a direct water line are more likely to need professional installation than simple models without them. Source: Kenmore - Refrigerators and Freezers FAQ
What Kenmore Says to Check First

Local Notes for Safety Harbor
Most ice maker calls in Safety Harbor 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.
Florida's construction licensing guidance says that paid work such as installing a dishwasher connected to drinking water or replacing a water heater requires a licensed contractor, and that a local business tax receipt or certificate of competency may also apply; it does not describe a separate state appliance repair license.

In Florida, you can check a license with the DBPR Verify a License (MyFloridaLicense.com) or report a problem to the Florida Attorney General, Office of Citizen Services / Consumer Protection.
