An electric control apparatus for an ice making machine mounted on an ice storage bin to store therein ice cubes formed at its ice making cycle of operation and released at its defrost cycle of operation, the ice storage bin having an ice detection switch of the normaly open type arranged to issue an electric signal therefrom when closed by engagement with the ice cubes fully stored in the ice storage bin. The electric control apparatus is designed to maintain the ice making machine inoperative when applied with the electric signal from the ice detection switch immediately after connected to an electric power source and to activate the ice making machine after lapse of a predetermined time when the ice detection switch is opened in a condition where the ice making machine is maintained inoperative.
