ABSTRACT:
A refrigeration apparatus having an ice making mechanism disposed in a refrigerated space and including an ice harvesting mechanism. The mechanism includes a thermostat responsive to the temperature of the refrigerated space for controlling operation of the refrigeration apparatus. A control is provided for selectively causing operation of the ice harvesting mechanism alternatively as a function of total clock time from a preceding ice harvesting cycle, or as a function of an accumulated time of operation of the refrigeration apparatus as controlled by the thermostat. In one form, a manually controlled selector switch is provided. In another form, the selector switch is automatically controlled by the setting of the refrigeration apparatus thermostat. In another form, the selector switch is made to be automatically responsive to a temperature condition within the refrigeration apparatus.
