ABSTRACT:
An automatic ice maker adapted for use in a refrigerator includes an ice-making container rotatable between an upright ice-making position and an inverted ice-discharging position by a motor. A reservoir is disposed beneath the container to receive the discharged ice. The position of the container is determined by switches which are actuated by cams that rotate with the container. Signals from the switches are fed to a controller which stops and starts the motor and determines the direction of motor rotation. In order to prevent excessive overtravel of the container, e.g., in the case of switch malfunction, stops are provided which stop the rotation of the container independently of the controller.
