A test device arranged to be electrically connected to a plurality of terminals provided in a control mechanism of an ice maker apparatus. The test device includes a plurality of switches and indicator lamps connected to the control mechanism circuit for selective determination of causes of malfunctioning of different electrical components of the ice maker apparatus. The control includes a switch for initiating a cycle of operation of the ice maker apparatus and an indicator lamp for indicating the presence of voltage in the control mechanism circuit. The test device is arranged to permit observation of the rotational position of the control mechanism drive and, more specifically, the rotational position of the cam driven thereby to indicate to the service person the point in the cycle of operation reached by the mechanism.
