NOTE: 2 new components on this Ice Maker. An inductor
(coil) is wired in series (red wire) with the condenser fan
motor. It's purpose in life is to smooth out voltage spikes.
The unit Thermistor (2 white wires) signals the control board
if the temperature of the machine compartment exceeds 115
F. If it does, then during the next harvest cycle the condenser
fan remains on to cool the area. 5 VDC is supplied to the
Thermistor. See Figure 29.
