Abstract
A cooling unit with a refrigeration assembly including an evaporator and an insulated cabinet including an ice maker chamber that is cooled by the evaporator. The cooling unit includes an ice maker mechanism disposed in the ice maker chamber, the ice maker mechanism including an ice mold with cavities, an ice mold heater, ejector blades, and strippers. The ice maker mechanism can produce ice and eject the ice into an ice bin within the cabinet during a plurality of ice ejection cycles. The ice is ejected by energizing the mold heater and rotating the plurality of ejector blades through the plurality of cavities. A controller tracks an elapsed time since a previous ice ejection cycle and prohibits a next ice ejection cycle when the elapsed time is below a prescribed time period. A next ice ejection cycle is also prohibited when an ice mold thermistor is below a threshold temperature.
