I'd vote for one of these or, also, possibly very dirty compessor coils overheating.Water is freezing in the supply line in the back of the unit? Filter is needing replaced?

I just got done replacing the ice maker in our 21 year old refrigerator a few minutes ago. It was replaced with a generic for Whirlpool/Maytag (ours is an old Maytag.) Man what a job to get the the auger bucket out and unplugged, you need to have arms like an orangutan and about the same height too. Needless to say I had a hard time and did not enjoy it even one bit. $70 for the new icemaker if anyone wants to know. I hope it works.I think Oaktree is right. The ice maker in our refrigerator was replaced - again - yesterday, as is done at least once a year. And this time it took the technician a couple of months to get the right part from Sears. So for a couple of months I've been using the old fashioned ice trays and having more ice than we could use.
Had one in the Louisiana kitchen. Liked it; so got one here. Had trouble getting repair people to come fix it. Finally shut it down. Just using the ice maker in my kitchen frig down here in the basement.Have a Scotsman Ice maker in my kitchen. Love it. Makes perfect cubes for soft drinks, adult beverages or when one of the kids needs lots of ice for a bruise, or a cooler for sports drinks.
Generally, it works great. It happily harvests cubes.
However, once every few months, the cubes melt and it stops harvesting cubes. It won’t make enough cubes to keep the tub full to the point where it just runs and makes nothing.
I tried cleaning it and looking for anything, but there’s nothing obvious
Finally, I just began unplugging it for 2 days, then plugging it back in. It triggers something and it works again very well.
Any idea why it stops making cubes, then works again after 2 days of being turned off?
