We have a 14 year old Model #N842IM, I removed the ice maker because it is better to have the space all the time rather than make ice a few times a year when we sit still. It freezes ice cream in round containers very well.
As of today I haven't had any reason to learn about absorption refrigerators so I cannot suggest a course of action. I did read here that it is possible that some scale caused by over boiling or out of level could come loose and block or partially block the tubing anywhere in the system. Maybe so, maybe not, I just read that.
