Have there been Issues with the tubing/valve. My home was built in 2004.
I know my toilets have the same valves and connected tubing

We purchased new appliances from HD in 2017; our home was built in 2005. When ordering in the store they quizzed us about the existing valve and said it had to be upgraded before they would install the new refrigerator because (I don’t think) these push-pull valves are up to code today. At the moment I can’t recall if we had the plumber come and replace the same day, but earlier, than delivery or if we just ordered the new parts with the refrigerator and the delivery guys took care of it when they installed the refrigerator, but I know it had to be done. As we do improvements, we are working to upgrade all of the push-pull valves in the house.
