Ice maker will not fill. I have changed the filter and run a gallon of water through the water dispenser on the exterior of the refrigerator. No ice is present in the tube that comes from the top of the freezer to fill the ice maker. I can peiodically see the "fingers" turn to push the ice out. Could it be calcium buildup? Or some sensor?

Try swapping the wires on the dual water inlet valve. Then try the water dispenser. The water should go to the ice maker. This will tell you weather or not the ice maker valve is working and if the line is clear.
The water inlet valve on the back of the unit where the water supply comes in can have a slow leak and will cause ice to buildup and block the fill tube. Disconnect the ice maker line from the valve and watch to see if it has a slow drip. It doesn’t take much to eventually block the fill tube.
The valve can leak because of sediment in the water preventing it from closing or low water pressure.
