WE have a 1980 forward control wonderlodge. The icemaker freezes but does not release the cubes. Anyone have any ideas or have experienced the same problem.

The ice maker actually has a "heater element" that is part of the ice making cycle. This is there in order for the ice to release from the tray. I doubt that the heating element is bad. It could be either one of the micro switches or what I call a thremostat switch. This switch triggers when it reaches a certain temperature to start the ejection/refilling process. Either one are not hard or expensive to replace and most any home appliance repair shop will have the parts.
