    Patent number: 6588227
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an ice maker for making ice which is installed within a refrigerator. In the ice maker 30 of the present invention, one end of an ice-making container 34 is supported by a frame 32, while the other end thereof is supported by a case 51 of a drive unit 50. The ice-making container 34 is made of metal, and a ground terminal 80 is electrically connected with the ice-making container 34 by a screw 75 for fastening the ice-making container 34 to the case 51, thereby establishing grounding therebeween. The ice maker is provided with a front face plate 42 for connecting the frame 32 and the drive unit 50 in the longitudinal direction along one side of the ice-making container 34. The front face plate 42 is formed with cold air passing-holes for guiding cold air within a freezing chamber of the refrigerator to the ice-making container 34. The cold air passing-holes 45 are provided with louvers 47 for more smoothly guiding the cold air to the air passing-holes, respectively.
