<p>An icemaker for a refrigerator having a cabinet with a refrigerated compartment and an unrefrigerated machine compartment includes a body portion formed with an inlet (101), an outlet (102) and an opening. A flexible mold (45) is positioned in the opening. A water supply is positioned to provide water to the flexible mold. A fluid supply circuit, including a pump (240) mounted in the machine compartment, a first fluid conduit connected between the pump (240) and the inlet (101), and a second fluid conduit connected to the outlet (102), provides warm fluid to the body portion. The icemaker forms ice during an ice production cycle and the fluid warmed in the machine compartment is used to partially melt and aid in releasing the ice which is then deposited in a ice storage bin during a harvest cycle.</p> |
