- BIN CONTROL ON EVAPORATOR
- ALSO CALLED, “Curtain Switch”
- SYSTEM SECTION: Electrical Component
The reed switch is mechanically triggered by a magnet on the evaporator curtain. When the curtain is flush with the evaporator, the switch and magnet mesh and a (closed) signal is sent that it is okay to make ice. When ice drops, it pushes the curtain outward thus breaking contact between the magnet and the reed switch. This effectively opens an electrical circuit and that signal is sent to the control board to stop making ice. The process becomes a cycle that repeats.
