REFRIGERATOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ICE MAKER THEREFOR

摘要

According to an embodiment, an ice maker comprises: a main body having a cooling space supplied with the cold air generated by a cooling module; an ice making assembly comprising an ice tray arranged in the cooling space to generate ice, a cold air guide module disposed at a lower side of the ice tray and configured to guide the cold air supplied from the cooling module to the lower side of the ice tray, and a rotation module configured for rotating at least one of the ice tray and rotating an ejector for ejecting the ice from the ice tray; an ice bucket disposed at a lower side of the ice making assembly configured to receive the ice from the ice tray; and a full ice detection module. The full ice detection module comprises a first sensor coupled to a lower portion of the rotation module and a second sensor coupled to a lower portion of the cold air guide section, and detecting whether or not the ice bucket is full of the ice by operative interconnection of the first and second sensors.
