    Abstract: The refrigerator of the present invention comprises: a storage compartment where food is stored; a cold air supply means for supplying cold air to the storage compartment; a first tray forming a part of an ice making cell which is a space where water phase-changes into ice by the cold air; a second tray which forms another part of the ice making cell and which can be brought into contact with the first tray during an ice making process, and which is connected to a driving unit so as to be spaced apart from the first tray during an ice separating process; a heater positioned adjacent to at least one of the first tray and the second tray; an ice bin for storing ice dropped from the ice making cell; a full ice level sensing means for sensing a full ice level of the ice bin; and a control unit for controlling the heater and the driving unit.
    When the full ice level of the ice bin is sensed by the full ice level sensing means, the control unit controls the driving unit such that the second tray moves to the ice separating position after the ice making is completed.

    Abstract: An ice maker includes an ice tray, an ejector configured to rotate with respect to the ice tray and cause rotation of ice pieces, and a motor configured to drive the ejector to rotate relative to the ice tray. The ice tray includes a first guide rib located at a lower portion of the ice tray and configured to exchange heat with cool air supplied from a cool air inlet, and a second guide rib located at the lower portion of the ice tray and arranged at a center region of the lower portion of the ice tray. The ice tray defines a first area including the first guide rib, and a second area including both of the first and second guide ribs, where the first area of the ice tray is located closer to the cool air inlet than the second area.
