41 by a motor such that its individual fingerlike clearing fingers 42 provide positive means for pushing the ice pieces from their corresponding as frozen positions within their corresponding cavities within the ice mold 30 under one embodiment of the present invention the output shaft of the motor assembly attaches directly without gear reduction to the icemaker ejector 40 torque is transmitted by means of an internal d hole spline or other torque transmitting configurations the outside diameter of the output shaft can include one or more cam surfaces for controlling water fill cycle interval and other necessary functions as required referring now to fig9 another aspect of the present invention relates to the use of a thermostat 56 for controlling the cycle of an icemaker held in place using a thermally conductive adhesive applied between the thermostat and the ice mold 30 preferably the ice mold 30 should have a locating feature for the thermostat in assembly the adhesive will be applied to the thermostat which will itself then be placed on the end of the ice mold 30 and clamped in place reference is now also made to fig4 which sets forth a portion of the circuit diagram incorporating the present invention as may be seen three wires having line neutral and ground properties lead to the circuit diagram the dotted lines illustrate.
