Abstract
An ice dispenser control wherein a plurality of solenoids are selectively operated by switches engaged by cups of different sizes placed in a dispensing space of the ice dispenser. The solenoids cause a delivery passage of the ice maker to be closed at a selected level thereof by a divider while concurrently a closure normally closing the delivery end of the delivery passage is removed therefrom so as to permit ice bodies in the passage between the delivery end and the actuated divider to be dispensed to the cup in the dispensing space. The control causes an agitator in the ice storage bin to be operated for a preselected period of time each time ice is delivered from the delivery passage. Additionally, the control is arranged to cause agitation of the ice in the ice storage bin whenever no dispensing of ice is effected for a preselected long period of time, thereby to prevent conglomeration of the ice bodies in the storage bin. The control is arranged to provide the timing operations automatically through a clock and timer devices of the control circuitry.
