Ice Sensing Plate and Switch

The ice sensing plate is a flap that is in the ice chute.
It is normally open, and during the freeze cycle water
flows thru the open hole into the sump.
A magnet is embedded into an arm of that flap, and
moves with the flap. It is normally positioned some
distance away from the sensing plate switch.
During harvest, the ice releases as a group and falls
by gravity over the flap, closing it. That also moves
the arm with the magnet to just across from the
sensing plate switch. That switch is a magnetic switch
and is triggered by the magnet, either ending harvest
and restarting freeze if the ice is not holding the flap
closed, or ending harvest and causing bin full, if ice is
holding the flap closed.
