  • Harness free ice maker system
    Patent number: 11268745
    Abstract: An ice maker is provided that may include cooperating primary and secondary coils arranged on opposite sides of a freezer cabinet wall for wirelessly transmitting electrical power through the freezer cabinet wall to energize various ice maker components. During the wireless electrical power transmission, a data/control signal may be superimposed on the electrical power waveform to allow wireless transmission of the control signal, which can be processed by a logic circuitry for implementing component control methodologies.

  • Harness Free Ice Maker System
    Publication number: 20200056825
    Abstract: An ice maker allows for installation without the need for electrical harnesses by employing closely adjacent secondary and primary coils that communicate electrical energy through an oscillating magnetic field through the freezer wall. A data signal may be superimposed on the electrical energy to allow the ice maker to control a valve outside of the freezer cabinet.
