C. Ice Harvesting.
The harvesting process begins when the Ice Maker thermostat closes and signals
that the harvest temperature has been reached. The closed thermostat applies power to the ice
maker motor and to the heater. As the heater melts the outer layer of the ice, the motor rotates a
rake (rake in blue in
Fig. 2
on previous page), which sweeps the ice cubes out of the mould, and
pushes them forward into the Ice Storage container/ bucket in the freezer door. The harvest lasts
approximately 5 minutes. To prevent an early harvest from occurring after the last harvest is
completed; a minimum of 40 minutes must pass before another harvest will be initiated.
Note:
When the water supply is turned off the Ice Mode should be disabled on the user control
display interface.
For Ice Maker Troubleshooting see Page 36.
