A Kenmore ice maker shares its basic needs with every other ice maker, cold air, water and a working mechanism, but where it sits, how it is reset and the codes it shows are specific to the brand and model. Below are independent repair companies serving South Venice, with those that mention Kenmore first, then the nearest appliance repair companies.

What a Kenmore Technician Deals With

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

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.
