After starting up freezer after move. Ice maker makes ice fine for first few hours. After about 8 to 10 hours I find that ice is all frozen into ice bin all the way up to the fill tube. Icicles are found throughout to the bottom. What part is needed to fix?
I would replace the icemaker.

The ice in the bin looks like water poured into the bin then froze. Would that still be the icemaker?
With an icemaker that old, Chances are it’s the culprit. To test to seee if it’s a leaking valve, just remove the icemaker and place a container to catch any “overfill”.
If you see an ice build-up after the removal of the icemaker, it would be reasonable to assume the water valve is bad: Replace it.
Most people don’t realize, however, that the lining of the icemaker mold builds up a type of corrosion that will “wick” the water right out of the mold.
Evidence of this will be smaller ice cubes than normal; and unexplained ice build-up in the ice collection bin.
