Abstract: An ice-making device includes a duct through which ice is dispensed and a duct-covering part opening and closing the duct. When an operation load applied to the duct-covering part while the duct-covering part closes the duct is greater than a preset normal load, the duct-covering part operates to open the duct.

Abstract: An ice-making device includes a duct through which ice is dispensed and a duct-covering part opening and closing the duct. A sensor part senses whether the duct-covering part closes the duct and a control part controls the duct-covering part to open the duct when the sensor part senses that the duct-covering part fails to close the duct and the duct-covering part has been attempting to close the duct for at least a preset period of time.

Abstract: Provided is a method of controlling an ice making assembly for a refrigerator. According to the method, transparent ice can be made in an ice making space which is kept at a temperature lower than 0° C.

Abstract: An ice-making device for a refrigerator, which is designed to separate ice through a simple process is provided. The ice-making device for a refrigerator includes an ice tray defining an ice-making space, an ice core member that is partly received in the ice-making space to make ice at an end thereof, a driving unit moving and rotating at least one of the ice tray and the ice core member, and a power transmission unit for transferring power from the driving unit to the ice core member. The ice on the ice core member starts being separated in a state where the ice is spaced apart from an outer surface of the ice tray.

Abstract: Ice making assembly for a refrigerator and a method for controlling the ice making assembly. The ice making assembly and method capable of more effectively providing transparent ice. The ice making assembly and method also capable of preventing water overflow.

Abstract: An ice making assembly for a refrigerator and a method for controlling the ice making assembly. The ice making assembly and the method of controlling the ice making assembly producing transparent ice and capable of preventing water overflow, the freezing of water that has overflowed, and the spilling out of water that has overflowed.

Abstract: An ice making assembly for a refrigerator and a method for controlling the ice making assembly are provided. The ice making assembly and the method of controlling the ice making assembly provides a constant amount of water supply for each ice making cycle regardless of environmental conditions such as the varying water supply pressure of different installation locations. Furthermore, overflowing can be prevented during water supply with the use of a capacitance water level sensor.

Abstract: Controlling an ice making assembly for a refrigerator such that the ice making assembly produces transparent ice. Transparent ice can be produced even if the space containing the ice making assembly is kept at a temperature lower than 0° C. This is achieved, in part, by maintaining the ice tray at a temperature at or above freezing.
