I took the wife for a ride across the dam and around Lake Lanier on the ElectraGlide this afternoon. While we were gone something went berserk with the ice machine in the fridge. The kitchen was covered with water and it had leaked though to the basement and we had a big puddle down there.

There was a piece of ice hung up in the tray and the system was adding water overflowing the tray running through the ice with most of the water flowing out the door but about two gallons had accumulated inside the bottom of the freezer. When I opened the door I got a wave of water and thawing food.

I shut off the water valve and grabbed my shop vac. I sucked up as much water as I could upstairs and then did the same downstairs. I spent 2 hours drying up the mess.

While I was vacuuming up the water my wife was transferring everything from the kitchen freezer to my shop fridge. I cleaned and wiped everything down inside the freezer and pulled the ice maker. I dried it off with my heat gun and reinstalled it and started everything back up. It has been 9 hours and it has dropped one cycle of ice 4 hours ago and has a frozen trey of ice but it has not moved since.

I have priced a replacement ice maker on-line. It is $39 with $10 shipping. If the ice maker is not working by tomorrow it looks like I will be getting a new one.

As I was finishing this rant it dropped the second load of Ice. I may get out of this without having to get a new ice maker. I will see in the morning.
