PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure for simplifying a water feeding device and stabilizing feed water quantity of water for ice making to an ice tray irrespective of residual quantity of the water for ice making in a water storage container without changing a stored water amount in the water storage container. SOLUTION: The water storage container is formed by partitioning vertically into a main tank part on an upper side and a measuring tank part (an auxiliary tank part) for storing the water for ice making necessary for one or a few times ice making on a lower side. An opening/closing valve is provided on a bottom part of the measuring tank part (the auxiliary tank part), and a solenoid for generating magnetic force in a direction for opening the opening/closing valve is provided. The solenoid is energized for a predetermined time, and the opening/closing valve is opened to feed water to the ice tray. Thereby, problems that when the water for ice making in the water storage container is fed to the ice tray by a natural falling system, the feed water quantity is affected by the residual quantity of the water for ice making in a water feeding container, and is not stabilized as compared with a pump system, and the water feeding device is complicated with a measuring container provided beneath the water storage container.
