Fridge won't make ice? Kenmore Coldspot

My ice maker in my side-by-side Kenmore Coldspot fridge stopped making ice suddenly, so once the supply in the hopper was exhausted, I started to diagnose it.

Google searches gave me a bunch of nonsense about replacing the icemaker component, but come on... I removed the door to the ice maker and up at the top is the water dispenser that fills the tray where the ice is made. And behold a icicle hanging down blocking the water.

I grabbed wifey's blow dryer and warmed the dispenser and the ice pushed it's way out and then the water tray filled up. Now it's all working.

That's it. Your mileage may vary.
