Are there calcium deposits in the icemaker section, causing the
ice to not eject completely during the ejection cycle? Wouldn't
take much residue left in the tray to cause an overfill.

I have had many good suggestions, and all seem reasonable and I'll check
them all out. The water here is quite hard, and I see calcium deposits
in other plumbing fixtures. The fact that the units run for months
before developing the symptom could support your idea, as well as that
of a weak / leaky valve. Someone soon, (either myself or the GE
repairman) will soon have to tear open the freezer drawer to inspect and
fix or replace the i.m. and I'll check or suggest mineral deposits as a
possible problem. Thanks .....Art
