Timing Cam & Coupler
Three separate cams are combined in one molded Delrin part:
1. Inner Cam operates Shut-Off Switch lever arm.
2. Center Cam operates Hold Switch.
3. Outer Cam operates Water Fill Switch.
One Cam end is attached to a large Timing Gear. The other Cam end is coupled to
the Ejector.

Timing Gear

This large molded plastic gear is driven by the Motor and, in turn, rotates the Cam
and Ejector. A "D" shaped hole in the gear fits over the Timing Cam Hub. Spacer
tabs on the backside of the gear prevent the gear from binding on the mounting
plate.

Motor

A low wattage, stall-type Motor drives the Timing Gear. This gear turns the Timing
Cam and Ejector Blades approximately one revolution every three minutes
(1/3 RPM).

On / Off Switch

There is a single switch mounted on the right side of the housing at the front of
theice maker. This switch is used to turn the ice maker off. Unlike the switch on the
bail arm the On/Off switch will stop the ice maker as soon as it is pushed, it will not
allow the ice maker to complete the revolution. This switch can also be used to
start the icemaker into a Harvest cycle
