ABSTRACT:
A reverse condition sensing mechanism incorporating in an ice making apparatus for use in a refrigerator includes a movable lever mounted on an output shaft to be rotated therewith and a fixing plate vertically mounted on a periphery surface of the output shaft. The movable lever has a shaft fixing portion fixed into the output shaft for rotating an ice tray, a rotating portion extending from the shaft fixing portion and vertically projected therefrom, and a contacting conductor mounted on a surface of the rotating portion. The fixing plate has a horizontal contact for sensing a horizontal condition of the ice tray and a reverse contact for sensing a reverse condition of the ice tray, the contacts being at intervals of a predetermined distance. The horizontal and the reverse conditions are sensed depending on the contacts being electrically contacted with the contacting conductor of the movable lever.
