Ice Sweep: A plastic cap with "fingers". It
revolves with the auger to "sweep" the ice into
the ice chute.
Breaker: Where the ice is compressed and
much of the extra water is squeezed out of it
before it is discharged into the bin.
Motor: A permanent split capacitor motor that
drives the gear reducer.
Thrust Bearing: As the ice is pushed up the
evaporator, the auger is thrust down, and
pressure from the auger thrust is taken up by
this bearing.
