the plumber told me to turn off (raise the lever) the ice maker until the repair was complete to avoid damage by water pressure when the water was turned back on. My husband lowered the ice maker lever anyway. Of course when the water was turned back on, water spewed from the ice maker.
Would it be best to replace the complete icemaker?

The only thing that could have been damaged by high water pressure would be the water fill valve on the back of the fridge. It shouldn't/couldn't have affected the icemaker mechanism itself.
You can read about how those water valves work at the following link.

How do I test a water fill valve?
Which one yours uses would depend on the fridge's brand and exact model number. You can find tips for locating the model number identification tag on your appliances in the 'Repair Parts' section of my web site linked below.

So it is only now you're getting around to look into it or is there more to the story??
