CONSTITUTION: A drum ice maker comprises a drum support unit(240), a drum unit, a drive unit, and a rotating ice removing unit(250). The drum unit comprises a cylindrical drum body and an ice-making unit and is supported with the drum support unit. The ice-making unit forms ice of prescribed thickness on the inner wall of the drum body by heat transfer of refrigerant circulating along the exterior of the drum body. The drive unit has a drive shaft arranged in the center of the drum unit and a driving part for actuating the drive shaft and is coupled to the drum unit. The rotating ice removing unit is coupled to the drive shaft and removes ice from the ice-making unit by contacting the ice-making unit according to the rotation of the drive shaft.
