Shabbos- Electric ice maker

Question

If someone asked a non Jew to add water to an electric ice maker that was plugged in on shabbas can others use those ice cubes on shabbas?

Answer

Thank you for your question.

If it was prepared using electricity, then in all instances it is forbidden for anyone to benefit from it, since he prepared it on Shabbos for Jews.
