When that was solved, I turned on the supply again and as luck would have it, the two-piece brass 90 attached to the water input on the back of the ice machine, LEAKED. OK, not a big deal but, it sorta kinda was because the space around the fitting was so restricted that I could only just barely make quarter turns with the wrench.

Got it off, took it to Shed 1 where I disassembled the two pieces, cleaned the threads and this time, used Teflon pipe joint compound and reassembled. Took it back to kitchen and spent another half an hour connecting and tightening everything. That did the trick and I heard the first cubes hitting the bin a short while later. HOORAY and one more item to delete of the ToDo list.
