    摘要: An ice maker assembly (52) includes an ice forming plate (76) and a cooling source (102) thermally engaged to a bottom surface of the ice forming plate. The cooling source (102) is configured to freeze water coming into contact with a top surface of the ice forming plate. A containment wall (82) surrounds the top surface of the ice forming plate to define an ice tray that is configured to retain water. An electrical drive body (110,112) is rotatably coupled to the ice tray and is configured to oscillate the ice-forming plate in a rocking cycle about a transverse axis of the ice tray. A median wall (84) divides the ice tray along the transverse axis into a first reservoir and a second reservoir. The rocking cycle causes water to repeatedly move over the median wall to form layers of an ice piece within each reservoir of the ice tray.

    摘要: An ice support and storage tray includes one or more cavities having upwardly facing spherical surface portions that support spherical pieces of ice. The tray is preferably made of a material having a low thermal conductivity to reduce melting of the spherical pieces of ice. The spherical support surfaces minimize melting points that could otherwise cause the spherical pieces of ice to melt and develop irregular surface shapes. The ice tray may be used in a freezer having an ice maker that transports spheres of ice to the ice support cavities. The ice storage tray may be configured to permit removal of spheres of ice without tipping the tray upside down and/or twisting/deforming the tray.

    摘要: A refrigerator (12) that has a fresh food compartment (14), a freezer compartment (16), and a door (18) that provides access to the fresh food compartment is disclosed. An icemaker (102) is mounted remotely from the freezer compartment. The icemaker includes an ice mold (106). A thermoelectric device is provided and includes a warm side and an opposite cold side. The icemaker is thermally influenced by the cold side of the thermoelectric device. Air or fluid may be moved from the fresh food compartment across the warm side of the thermoelectric device. Cold air or fluid, such as from the refrigerator compartment, is used to dissipate heat from the warm side of the thermoelectric device for cooling the ice mold of the icemaker.

    摘要: A refrigerator may include a refrigerator cabinet and at least one compartment disposed within the refrigerator cabinet, an ice maker for making wet ice disposed within the refrigerator cabinet, a bucket for storing the ice, the bucket positioned to receive the wet ice from the ice maker, and a drain in the bucket for draining water from the bucket. A method of making ice in a refrigerator includes making ice using an ice maker of the refrigerator, conveying the ice from the ice maker to a bucket having a drain, maintaining the ice in the bucket at a temperature above freezing to allow the ice to melt to water, and draining the water from the bucket.

    摘要: A clear ice maker assembly for an appliance includes an ice tray rotatably coupled with a housing and horizontally suspended within an interior volume of the housing. The ice tray includes a metallic ice forming plate (76) with a bottom surface, a substantially planar top surface and an edge portion. A containment wall (82) extends upward from the top surface along the edge portion. A grid (100) having at least one dividing wall (94) extends across the top surface between the containment walls. A fluid line extends into the housing and supplies water to the top surface of the ice tray to be retained by the containment wall and the grid. A cooling source (114) is thermally coupled to the bottom surface of the ice forming plate. The containment wall (82) and the grid (100)have a material with a lower thermal conductivity than the ice forming plate (76).

    摘要: A refrigerator that has a fresh food compartment (14), a freezer compartment (16), and a door (18) that provides access to the fresh food compartment is disclosed. An icemaker (102) is mounted remotely from the freezer compartment. The icemaker includes an ice mold (106). A thermoelectric device is provided and includes a warm side and an opposite cold side. A fluid pathway is connected in communication between the cold side of the thermoelectric device and the icemaker. A pump (60) moves fluid from the cold side of the thermoelectric device to the icemaker. Cold fluid or air may be taken from the freezer compartment to dissipate heat from the warm side of the thermoelectric device for providing cold fluid to and for cooling the ice mold or cool/warm fluid to other cooling or warming applications in the refrigerator compartment or on the refrigerator compartment door.
