PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW

The primary objective of the In-Door Ice Sys-

tem is to increase the usable space in the

freezer compartment of the current freestand-

ing side-by-side refrigerator/freezer. The solu-

tion is to relocate the ice maker the ice con-

tainer and drive mechanism and replace this

eye-level volume with a cantilever shelving sys-

tem. The following description is intended to

relate the changes that have been made from

the current side-by-side ice & water dispenser

configuration. The description is divided into

three categories: Ice Making Ice Storage &

Ice Dispensing.

ICE MAKING

The ice maker module and mold have not been

changed from the current models. However

the location mounting method air delivery

water delivery ice stripper and ice level shutoff

have all been redesigned.

Location & Mounting

The ice maker has been relocated to the top

front of the freezer liner and has been rotated

90˚. Due to code requirements the ice maker

heater area is now protected by a plastic (PVC)

mounting bracket. The bracket is attached to

the ice maker with three mounting screws and

is held in place by grooved tracks on either

side of the freezer liner.

Air D liv ry

Air is delivered to the ice maker mold through

a duct. This duct hooks onto the rear air duct

at the back of the liner and is secured to the

top of the liner with two screws. The duct di-

rects approximately 50% of the freezer air for-

ward to the ice maker mold. The mounting

bracket mentioned in the previous section

also serves as an air director and directs the

air that is delivered by the duct under the mold

and allows it to escape just under the ice strip-

per.

Air Duct

2-2

The water tube is made of polypropylene with

an overmolded santoprene nozzle. Due to the

rigid nature of the polypropylene this tube is

mated to a more flexible polyethylene tube with

a John Guest fitting high on the back panel.

This change of material is necessary to pre-

vent kinking when the tubing is attached to the

water valve.

Wat r D liv ry

Water is delivered to the ice maker mold by

means of a “tube-within-a-tube” design. A con-

duit system consisting of three separate pieces

(liner fitting conduit back panel fitting) is

foamed into place in the cabinet.

This conduit provides a pathway from the

freezer liner to the back panel. The majority of

this system is routed above the refrigerator liner

to prevent the water tubing from freezing. The

tubing that delivers the water is routed through

the conduit and is secured by snapping into

place at the freezer liner fitting.

Ic Stripp r

The ice stripper has been modified in order to

direct ice into the new ice container. The main

differences from the current stripper are: an

increased ramp and a directing wall at the fill

cup end.

Ic L v l Shutoff

The mechanical shutoff arm on the older ice

makers has been replaced with an electronic

ice level control system. This system is located

on either side of the freezer liner and utilizes

infrared light technology to sense the level of

ice in the door-mounted ice container. A manual

shutoff option is still available on the right side

of the freezer liner. This feature consists of a

plastic slide that covers the receiver sensor and

blocks the infrared beam.

ICE STORAGE

The ice container has been redesigned and

relocated to the freezer door. It is secured in

place on the door liner with a sliding spring-

loaded latch mounted to a plate with two pins.

The mounting plate is foamed-in-place on the

door. The ice container is easily removed and

replaced on the door regardless of the auger

orientation.

The ice container is removed by pressing a

release button on the right side and lifting.

Removal instructions are printed on the con-

tainer.

Other changes to the ice container consist of

a vertical rod ice auger and a clear polycar-

bonate upper section. The vertical orientation

of the bin helps prevent “stale ice” areas be-

cause the ice is a “first in—first out” system

which helps keep the ice fresher. Also the ice

container can be completely emptied.

ICE DISPENSING

Major changes have been made to the power

train. The motor has been redesigned and re-

located to the freezer door. The cube/crush

selector solenoid and its related linkage have

been eliminated and a drive shaft/spring-

loaded coupling have been added.

Motor

The motor is now located on the freezer door

in a foamed-in-place enclosure under the “dis-

penser bubble” area of the inner door panel.

The motor is mounted to a plastic mounting

bracket which in turn is mounted to the en-

closure with four mounting screws.

The motor operates on 115 volts DC (115 volts

AC is delivered to the motor where it is con-

verted within the motor assembly to DC). This

gives the motor a higher RPM than the earlier

dispenser motors and results in a faster ice

delivery rate in both the cubed and crushed

modes.

Crushed ice is delivered by turning the motor

in a clockwise direction and cubed ice is de-

livered when the motor turns in a counterclock-

wise direction.
