First Revolution Continued (See Figure 6-12)

• The ice has released from the mold.

• The motor remains energized through the holding

switch.

• The shut-off arm is lowered and the shut off switch

is tripped to “normally open”.

• The water valve solenoid switch is tripped by the

timing cam, but the solenoid is not energized

because the thermostat is still closed and energiz-

ing the mold heater. (Electric current follows the

path of least resistance.)

End of First Revolution (See Figure 6-13)

• The water valve solenoid switch is tripped by the

timing cam back to “normally open.”

• The timing cam trips the holding switch to “normally

close,” which ends the first revolution, but the ther-

mostat is still closed, so the motor is again started.

• The mold heater remains energized through the

thermostat.
