GE refrig with ice maker turned on by putting lever down
Put it down and it made ice for a few hours then just stopped.
Regrig has not been moved or touched in any way. Icemaker just appears
to have died. Any experience with this kind of thing.
Box is 5- 10 years old. Came with house that I bought last year.

TIA

I too bet the fill tube is frozen
Ah, but why did it freeze up? It has worked fine for 16 months.

**** happens. It is just worth checking because if the water solenoid
is bad or the tube is frozen a new icemaker won't fix anything.

Is there ice in the tray now that hasn't dumped?

Was about to reply "None" when I got up and looked.
Lever is up. Should not be making ice, BUT there is a whole row of
cubes against the side of the box. Like they are ready to be pushed out.
I dropped the lever to see what happens and as I type I can hear them
drop!. TWICE Maybe it just had to rest a few days:-))

Will report back. Thanks to all who made suggestions.
