ABSTRACT:
A slab type ice maker including an inclined refrigerated plate assembly is associated with a mechanically driven refrigerant compressor to cool the plate below freezing during an ice making cycle of operation whereby water circulated thereover by means of a motor driven pump will produce an ice slab thickness on the plate which is removed therefrom during a hot gas defrost harvest cycle of operation to be directed onto a heated grid for separation into individual cubes which are collected in a storage bin having a bin level thermostat therein that operates when the bin is filled to terminate machine operation. A control circuit associated with the bin level thermostat switch includes a bimetallic thermostat associated with the bin switch to maintain the machine operative after bin fill to assure completion of a desired ice slab thickness on the plate assembly and further includes means to establish a hot gas defrost operation which is terminated by the bimetallic thermostat sensing flow of hot defrost gas to produce a time delay control of hot gas harvest of the slab with subsequent complete termination of machine operation when the bin is filled with ice.
