Circulation Pump may be the issue

My brother has been investigating and found the Circulation pump to be in bad shape, it was seized at first, but he did get the shaft moving again. So he would like to know - if the circulation pump was NOT working would the ice maker exhibit the behavior I described in my earlier post, but not in this much detail?
- draining water into he reservoir
- waiting a bit
- then dumping more water
- overflowing the reservoir causing the water to drain ( we where running the drain to a bucket to investigate what was happening and it seemed it was dumping about 1-2 quarts of water ever 5-10 minutes).

He confirmed water was not reaching the freezing plate. (I forgot to ask if the plate was cold.).

thanks for the help

Louise
