Abstract
An icemaker for a refrigeration appliance includes a motor having a shaft. A feeler arm coupling is connected to a shaft of the motor. The motor is operable to rotate the feeler arm coupling about a rotation axis. A feeler arm rake is hinged to the feeler arm coupling such that the feeler arm rake is rotatable relative to the feeler arm coupling about a hinge axis. The hinge axis is perpendicular to the rotation axis. The feeler arm rake rotates with the feeler arm coupling about the rotation axis when the motor operates to rotate the feeler arm coupling.
