ABSTRACT:
An icemaker includes a motor and a gear train enclosed in a drive housing, a square drive output shaft extending from the housing, an output gear attached to the shaft, a camstack rotatable on a camshaft, and an input gear attached to the camshaft and driven by the output gear, all enclosed in a control housing comprising a first and second portion. The drive housing is mounted in the control housing by means of four openings in a pair of flanges attached to the drive housing, the openings fitting over four locating pins in one control housing portion. The housing portions are fastened together with the pins in the one control housing portion fitting into channels in the other, with the drive housing captured between the two portions. Both the output shaft and the camshaft are journaled in the same housing portion. There is a one-way clutch in the motor gear train and an anti-back mechanism on the camstack gear.
