Default Ice Maker Rocker Switch?

Um, think about it. The switch gets cycled every time the ice
is ejected. Lever goes full up, then comes back down. If the
lever contacts ice the switch is not engaged and the ice maker
only fills with water and the cycle will not restart until the
ice level goes down enough to engage the switch.
