Thanks to this great tip, we went a slightly different route. We removed both of the upper drawers so we had good access to the back of the bar compartment. Then (with just barely enough room) we were able squeeze in a drill with a circular hole cutter attachment to cut a hole directly behind the partisan of that middle drawer with a 1.0" attachment. (There's no wires directly below to worry about). They it was super easy to thread the plug through and access that "discovered" outlet.
Popping out the drawers is easy, pull them out and at the finished end there are two finger pulls you depress and they left right out. To re-install, you just fully extend the two guides and lower the drawers back on them and they'll click back in.
Since the fan for the ice maker is towards the kitchen, we've found all you need to do is leave the drawer cracked open about 1/2" and it gets plenty of airflow without being in the way!
Thanks for the OP for the idea!
The entire job took maybe 20 minutes!
