[ale] Way OT: Ice Maker question

[Greg Freemyer]

All,

I took the ice maker out.  Turns out it had 2 stuck cubes.  So every
time it made a tray, the new water overflowed the tray.

This ice maker has given me issues for years, so I'm thinking of just
replacing the tray / filer part of the ice maker.  It doesn't look
that expensive.

fyi: A Sears repair man told me it was $500+ to replace an ice maker.
Sounds like a racket.

Thanks for all the advice,
Greg
