PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To certainly fix a switch without depending on solder-mounting to a printed circuit board, in an ice tray drive device for an automatic ice making machine driving two trays. SOLUTION: This ice tray drive machine has: a first output gear 31 turning a first ice tray 11; a second output gear 32 turning a second ice tray 12; and a drive gear 43 disposed such that the drive gear 43 is sandwiched between both the output gears 31, 32, arbitrarily meshing with one of both the output gears 31, 32 to be turned. The ice tray drive device is provided with the respective switches 54, 55 detecting positions of the first ice tray 11 and the second ice tray 12, guide parts 57 transversely supporting the switches 54, 55, and installation/uninstallation gates 59 installing/uninstalling the switches 54, 55 to/from cantilevers 58 while keeping the switches 54, 55 along the guide parts 57. Thereby, because the switches 54, 55 are installed to a holding member 56 by snap fitting by installing the switches 54, 55 while bending the cantilevers 58, the switches can be fixed without depending on the solder-mounting to the printed circuit board to do away with the printed circuit board.
