ABSTRACT:
An automatic ice-making system for use with a bottled water supply includes a refrigeration unit having a freezer section for receiving and freezing water. An enclosed reservoir for bottled water is provided with the refrigeration unit, a feed line being established between the reservoir and the freezer section. A valve is interposed in the feed line for controlling the flow of water through the feed line between the reservoir and the freezer. A pump is provided with the reservoir for pumping water through the feed line. A specific electrical contact configuration provides means for simultaneously energizing the pump and commencing the opening of the valve, responsive to a sensed condition in the freezer. The preferred configuration of the reservoir is a flat, generally U-shaped container, with the pump being positioned within an enclosure located within the confines of the U-shaped container.
