There is no problem with that voltage. As long as the voltage is plus or minus 5% of the nominal voltage of 115 volts it is considered to be in the 120 volt range. Even though there is only a 110 volt potential at the outlet it is still rated to a voltage of 120 volts maximum. The second consideration is the amperage of the icemaker. Most 120 volt receptacles are rated at 15 amps and are fed with a #14 wire that is rated at 15 amps. As long as the icemaker does not draw more amperage than the receptacle is rated for the connection will be fine. If the icemaker draws more that 15 amps the breaker will trip.
What else can I help you with?
Can a 110 volt device be plugged into a 125 volt outlet?
Yes, a 110 volt device can be plugged into a 125 volt receptacle. The voltage rating on the receptacle is only there as the highest voltage supply that the manufacturer recommends their equipment be connected to.
Can a 130W fan be installed into a 120V outlet?
Yes, a 130 watt fan can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle. The current draw will be I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts = 130/120 = 1.08 amps.
Can you plug a 3 prong extension into a 110 volt outlet?
Yes, a 3-prong extension cord can be plugged into a 110-volt outlet as long as the prongs match the outlet. Just make sure the extension cord is rated for the appropriate voltage and current to avoid any electrical hazards.
Can you put a 120 v receptacle on a 240 v circuit breaker?
No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.
Can 12 volt only powered speaker be plugged into 120 volt outlet?
Nope. Unless you wanna burn up your speaker.
Can a hps light fixture be plugged in to a regular outlet?
If the ballast of the HPS fixture has a 120 volt tap then, yes it can be plugged into a 120 volt receptacle.
Can a 110 volt device be plugged into a 125 volt outlet?

How do you convert a 125 volt to a 120 volt receptacle?
You tell yourself the 125 volt receptacle is a 120 volt receptacle. They're the same thing.
Can 12 volt only powered speaker be plugged into 120 volt outlet?
Nope. Unless you wanna burn up your speaker.
What causes reversed polarity in a 110 volt receptacles?
Reversed polarity in a 110-volt receptacle usually occurs when the hot and neutral wires are connected to the wrong terminals. This can happen due to incorrect wiring during installation, loose connections, or faulty outlets. It can be hazardous because it can lead to electrical shocks and damage to appliances or devices plugged into the outlet.
Do I need GFCI breakers for 30 amp 240 volt receptacle in a commercial kitchen?
Usually no. Not unless the receptacle is in the vicinity of standing water. This is to protect the person that has to disconnect the plugged in device from the receptacle, while standing in the adjacent water.
Can you install a 277 volt receptacle in place of a 240 volt receptacle?
No. To prevent this sort of thing from happening, the 277 volt device and receptacle is physically larger that a 240 volt receptacle and will not fit in a regular receptacle junction box. For a 277 volt system the proper size junction boxes have to be purchased.
