BIN
The sensor arm (Fig.3) senses when the
bin isfull and signals the ice makerto stop
ejecting morecubes. F_
However, the mold has been refilled and
cubes frozen so the new supply is ready
when needed. As soon as ice is removed
from the bin, the sensor arm signals that
more is needed. The ice makerresumes
operation by ejecting ready-and-waiting
frozen cubes. % , _ POSITION
