ABSTRACT:
An ice dispenser apparatus includes an ice bin to receive ice cubes; a shutter mechanism located near a bottom of the ice bin to selectively dispense ice cubes or crushed ice; an ice crusher located above the shutter mechanism to crush ice cubes into crushed ice; and an ice discharge controller located adjacent to the ice crusher and having a structure to selectively provide a certain amount of ice cubes onto the shutter mechanism and to effectively minimize an undesirable accumulation of ice near the ice crusher that may cause interference during operation.
