<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent multiplex ice making from being generated in an ice making section and suitably cancel the multiplex ice making even if it is generated in the ice making section. <P>SOLUTION: An ice making machine detects an ice lump that fell from an ice making section by an ice detection switch during deicing operation to compare a detection count number of ice lumps counted by the ice detection switch from the completion of a deicing operation with a preset standard count number. When the detected count number is equal to or larger than a standard count number, ice making operation is performed. When the detected count number is less than or equal to the standard count number, the deicing operation is performed again. Thus, multiplex ice making is prevented from being generated so that no ice lump remains in the ice making section. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
