Abstract: A valve construction and method of assembling the same are provided, the valve construction having a deflector unit for directing fluid flow from the inlet of the housing means of the valve construction away from an operating part of a bimetallic lever means of the valve construction that controls a valve seat means thereof, the deflector unit having a part engaging one of a top and bottom edge of a screen at the inlet of the housing means so as to hold another part of the deflector unit in a cantilevered manner in the internal chamber of the housing.

Abstract: An icemaker for a refrigerator having a stationary tray with plural curved-bottom cavities for molding crescent ice. An electrical heater melts the ice surface of the tray bottom to permit freeze embedded ejector tine of a rotary harvesting means to sweep the crescent ice from the tray. A stationary stripper cam surface forces the ice radially from the ejector tine which has wedging surfaces thereon to facilitate fracture of the ice for harvesting into half-crescent sections.

Abstract: A fluid bulb-sensing type thermostat having a capillary tube from the sensing bulb connected to an inlet port of a fluid pressure sensing chamber defined in part by an expansible diaphragm which moves in response to fluid pressure in the chamber from the bulb to actuate a snap-acting switch. The diaphragm is mounted on a plate which is cantilevered from the thermostat housing, and the at-rest position of the plate with respect to the housing is adjustable by a cam against which the free end of the plate is biased, for calibrating the thermostat.
