Ice Dispenser - Stepper Motor
This stepper motor allows the ice to be dispensed by opening and closing the chute when the ice
dispenser paddle is activated, see Fig. 10. The chute will stay open for approximately 10 seconds to
prevent ice from getting trapped. This is motorised and the user may notice a motor noise when the
chute opens and closes.
If the dispenser bar is held for long periods, the dispenser motor shuts off automatically after 2-3
minutes to prevent overload. The motor resets automatically after 3 minutes and ice dispensing can
continue.
At every power-up it will perform an initialization (complete open and close movement).
If power-up is interrupted during any open or closed chute movement, the chute will stop immediately in
whatever position it is.
