The present invention relates to an ice maker having a fan assembly. The ice maker 30 of the present invention comprises a main body 40 and a fan assembly 60 mounted to the main body 40 by means of resilient mounting hooks. A housing 62 defines an external appearance of the fan assembly 60 , and comprises first and second housing portions 62 a and 62 b. The first and second housing portions 62 a and 62 b are provided with concavo-convex coupling portions 63 and 63 ' at positions corresponding to each other so that the housing portions can be provisionally assembled by coupling the concavo-convex coupling portions to each other. The interiors of the first and second housing 62 a and 62 b are partitioned by partition plates 64 to define a cold air flow passage 64 f, and a discharge duct 66 is formed integrally to communicate with the cold air flow passage 64 f. A box fan unit 80 is installed in the cold air flow passage 64 f, and mounting ribs 65 and 65 ' corresponding to opposite corners of the box fan unit 80 are formed on the first and second housing portions 62 a and 62 b. The first and second housing portions 62 a and 62 b are coupled to each other by fastening the box fan unit 80 to the mounting ribs 65 and 65 ' by means of screws. A housing cover 70 formed with an inlet 72 communicating the cold air flow passage 64 f is installed at a side of the housing 62 . A fastening rib 74 of the housing cover 70 is simultaneously fastened together with the first and second housing portion 62 a , 62 b by means of a screw.
