Cube Motor
The EMI shield prevents electrical interference
from the auger motor from affecting the operation
of the cube motor reed switch. Make sure the
shield is in place before replacing the cover.
The cube motor operates on 120 VAC and has a
resistance of approximately 2K Ω.
Note: The auger motor thermal overload is in the
cube motor circuit.

The cube reed switch is mounted to the cube
motor housing. A small magnet is attached to the
