I How the Ice Maker Works I

FILL

Water fills the empty cube mold (Fig. 1)when the TUBE

freezer compartmenthas cooledto freezing tem-

perature. Coldairisforceddirectlyoverthe mold.

When frozen, the cubes are rotated up and out of iCE

the mold (Fig. 2). The sweeper arm ejects them F_. Ij/ jJ-,,_----IcE

into the ice storage bin below. '2 BIN

The sensor arm (Fig. 3) senses when the bin is full

and signals the ice maker to stop ejecting more

cubes. _

However,the moldhas beenrefilled and cubes

frozen sothe new supplyis readywhen needed. I_

As soon as ice is removed from the bin, the

sensor arm signals that more is needed. The
