Abstract: A plane heater is a plane heater arranged in an ice tray of an ice machine including the ice tray having a partitioned space arranged therein to receive ice-making water, an ejector for separating ice within the ice tray, a motor which is arranged to face the ice tray and drives the ejector therein, and a control box having a printed circuit board formed therein. The plane heater includes a heat emitting body which is formed by a metal thin film and has a thickness thicker than 0 mm and equal to and thinner than 0.5 mm, a heat insulation member arranged to cover the heat emitting body, an electrode pad electrically connected to the heat emitting body, and a power source connection part including a support plate arranged below the electrode pad.
