Wayne for Model Number 106.56702500 the ice maker has, after 16 years, stopped making ice. I found that the small black tube (ID about1/4 inch or so) was frozen solid. Removed the ice and after 24 hours still not refilling the ice tray. Would replacing the ice maker assembly with a new assembly, Whirlpool PN 2198597 correct the problem? I checked the function of the IR optics and they are working as they are supposed to.
