Abstract: A refrigerator including an ice maker that includes a pressurizing member, a first tray including a first main ice-making cell and a first auxiliary ice-making cell. The ice maker includes a second tray coupleable to the first tray to form a spherical ice chamber, the second tray includes a second main ice-making cell coupleable to the first main ice-making cell to form a spherical ice chamber and a second auxiliary ice-making cell formed to extend upward from the second main ice-making cell and having a portion that contacts the first auxiliary ice-making cell, where, as the second tray is moved to separate the second main ice-making cell of the second tray coupled to the first main ice-making cell of the first tray that form the spherical ice chamber, the pressurizing member applies pressure to the second auxiliary ice-making cell of the second tray.
