The present invention relates to a system and method for making ice, and more particularly, to an ice maker provided in a refrigerator and an ice making method using the same. A refrigerator system for making ice according to the present invention comprises a tray for containing a water to be used for making ice; a refrigerant pipe disposed so that at least a portion thereof is submerged in the water contained in the tray, the refrigerant pipe causing ice to be made by heat exchanging the water with a refrigerant of relatively low temperature flowing in the refrigerant pipe; and a heating means provided on a surface of the refrigerant pipe and operated during an ice-releasing process. According to the system and method for making ice, there is no need for forming an additional duct to supply cold air to the ice maker in order to make ice, whereby it is possible to simplify a manufacturing process of a refrigerator and to reduce manufacturing costs of a refrigerator.
