Try slightly raising the temperature in the freezer, if its adjustable. It

Last batch, the fingers were stuck IN the ice, went to the appliance
parts store, they said it was probably something to do with the temp
sensor or the heater, told me there aren't any replaceable parts in a
modular icemaker anyway, far as I could see, that's true ...]

Could have been worn or missing teeth at some point in the gearbox to
cause the fingers to lose drive just at that crucial moment. :-(
