Figure D2 – Ice Mold
Mold Heater
A 165 watts mold heater with aluminum cover is incorporated in the welded section, in the inferior face mold. When
operating the heater, heat melts the ice contact surface inside the mold, allowing ice cubes loosening. See Figure D3.
Figure D3 – Mold Heater
(Incorporated in its position)
The heater mold is connected in series with the icemaker thermostat and functions as a security device.
The original heater is incorporated in its position but can be taken away for replacement. The spare heater is fastened to
the mold through four (4) flat head retention screws screwed in holes in the mold, at one side of the heater.
A mastic thermal obturant is located between the heater and the mold for a good thermal contact.
Ice mold withdrawal
The mold has an ice separator to prevent ice cubes fall again in the mold. It also works as decorative lateral cover. See
Figure D4.
