Here's my question. Can the increase in hot water cause a jump this
drastic? Also, our ice-maker in the fridge is making a funny sound (a
whirring motor sound) alot. Could a malfunctioning ice-maker cause the
jump?

Seems like a lot for an icemaker motor as they are very small. OTOH, I
think they do have some sort of heater to release the ice and if it was
stuck on, the heater not only adds to the use, but so does the fridge
running more often.

Any water leaks?
