Side-by-side ice maker woes

[dalangdon]

I recently found an ice maker for my 70's era GE Avocado side-by-side refrigerator, but it's not working right. I think a big part of that might be because the fan/light cover is missing, which means that it is blowing water all over the place. Is there any validity to that theory?

I found a "universal" cover assembly, and apparently my refrigerator isn't from this universe. Any ideas as to where I could get one, or even what it looks like?

IIRC, it was just a flat piece of opaque plastic

It looks like the icemaker is leaking, but I can’t tell which icemaker do you have in there? Need some decent pictures of the icemaker there are two different icemaker designs that will fit in this refrigerator.

That cover over the fan is necessary. It helps divert cold air into the refrigerator section. It won’t cool properly in the refrigerator section with that cover missing.
