May Tag Ice Maker freezes up - trouble shooting help please appliancerepair

Hi folks.

The ice maker in my May Tag top mount refrigerator is doing a weird thing, it is making ice in the metal tray, but the ice is frozen solid to the tray. Therefore, when the plastic tines or forks go to rotate to dump the ice, they just can not make it budge. It is stuck in there good.

I do not know how this ice maker works, but I'm guessing there is something to heat up the metal tray slightly to get the ice unstuck from the metal tray/mold so that it will swoop the ice out?

Is this just a 'dead ice maker' situation or are there some things I can troubleshoot, parts I can replace?

I have a digital multi-meter and plenty of hand tools.

Thank you for any advice/tips.
