the area where the fan is blowing air. The heat

 

is transferred to the air, and the warmed up air

 

is discharged from the ice maker. At the same

 

time, ice is forming on the refrigerated surface

 

(located at the upper back of the ice maker).

 

When the refrigerated surface gets cold

 

enough, the ice maker’s timer will begin to

 

turn. When it turns far enough, it will stop the

 

freeze cycle and begin the harvest.

operating, but the spray pump and fan motor

 

have stopped. Two other components have

 

been energized: the hot gas valve and the inlet

 

water valve. These two valves open and warm

 

up the freezing surface, allowing the cubes to

 

fall into the ice storage bin. The timer is still

 

turning, and when it gets to the end of the

 

harvest cycle, the freeze cycle will restart.
