Icemaker Limit switch repair
Description
I Have A Home Soda Fountain. The Icemaker For The Coldplate Is A Modified Icemaker, That Uses A Limit Switch With A Little Paddle To Detect When The Ice Compartment Is Full, And Therefore Stops Making Ice So The Little Dump Mechanisim Doesn'T Force Itself Against A Pile Of Ice And Break. (This Was Not My Design, Soda-Parts.Com) The Limit Switch Is Basically The Weak Link In The Entire Design. Every 6 Months Or So The Innards Of The Switch Break Down (From All That Water) And The Switch Fails And No More Ice And No More Soda And Sad Me. :) Usually At That Point I Spend A Week Or So Hacking Back Together A New Switch And Trying To Bond Plastic To The Metal Tab Of The Switch For A Paddle. No More! I'Ve Printed A Small Paddle That Glues Around The Switch, And I'Ve Done It In A Way Where I Don'T Have To Hack At The Switch With A Saw. Then I Printed A Little 90' Mount For The Switch Itself, Add Some Wires, And Just Plug It Back In To Replace. I Suspect This Device Will Help A Grand Total Of 1 Person, But I'M Putting It Up Anyhow, Just In Case. The Limit Switch Used Is A Gnber Switch, So Maybe The Mount Will Help Someone.
