Abstract: A refrigerator according to the present invention may comprise a first tray assembly forming one part of ice-making cells, and a second tray assembly forming the other part of same. Any one tray assembly, from among the first and second tray assemblies, comprises a first part forming at least a part of the ice-making cells, and a second part extending from a set point on the first part so as to reduce water supplied to the ice-making cells from leaking through a space between the first and second tray assemblies.

Abstract: Provided is a refrigerator in which a heater disposed at a side of a first tray or a second tray may be turned on in at least partial section while a cold air supply part supplies cold air to an ice making cell so that bubbles dissolved in water within the ice making cell move from a portion at which ice is made toward liquid water to make transparent ice, and one or more of the cooling power of the cold air supply part and the heating amount of heater may be controlled according to a mass per unit height of the water in the ice making cell so that the transparency is uniform for each unit height of the water in the ice making cell.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a first tray assembly to define one portion of an ice making cell, a second tray assembly to define another portion of the ice making cell, a heater disposed adjacent to at least one of the first or second tray assemblies, and a controller configured to control the heater. The refrigerator further includes a pusher including a first edge having a surface pressing the ice or at least one of the first and second tray assemblies to easily separate the ice from the tray assemblies, a bar extending from the first edge, and a second edge disposed at the end of the bar; and a pusher link having a connection part connected to the pusher. The controller controls at least one of the pusher or the second tray assembly to move and to change a relative position between the pusher and the second tray assembly.
