While trouble shooting my Fridge's icemaker, I managed to not here the click after shorting the T-H test points, so it is now stuck in a 'Harvest Cycle' continueously!  No water is dispensed, it just keeps harvesting air!  I have tried to figure out how to return it to normal, by internet searches, and then tried to reset it by unplugging the icemaker plug from the socket, no joy,  and then unplugging the Fridge from the wall, waiting over a minute for both actions, no joy!  What is the 'trick' to get the Icemaker back to normal mode?  Thanks in advance!

Remove your jumper wire. If you leave the jumper in place T to H it will never fill and the heater will stay on also it will continually cycle.  If the heater is not coming on with T to H jumped you have other issue with the ice maker.  This would a newer ice maker is needed.

Thanks Vance, but the Jumper has been removed for over a week, and the icemaker just keeps cycling as described in the original writeup!  I can stop the cycling only by placing the feeler arm up in the off position!  I want to know how to get the icemaker out of the constant harvest mode.  Removing power to both the fridge or the icemaker through disconnecting cables does not solve it either!

Your refrigerator has a modular ice maker. The ice maker will start a harvest cycle is when the thermostat inside get to 15 deg f  and the contacts close.  So if it continues to cycles the contact for the thermostat are stuck closed.  Replaced the ice maker.
