Abstract
Ice cube making apparatus of the type having a vertically disposed evaporator plate with a lattice structure on side thereof in which cubes are formed as water runs down the plate. The ice making cycle is controlled by a timer which is actuated by a pressure responsive switch in the refrigerant line and, upon timing out of the ice forming portion of the cycle, hot gas is delivered to the evaporator to detach the ice slab from the evaporator plate and a mechanical harvest plunger applies a uniform force to the ice slab to overcome capillary forces retaining said ice slab on the evaporator plate.
