PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water supply device with an opening/closing valve mechanism having a reduced size for supplying ice making water by actualizing construction with no existence of a connection lever which is conventionally required for connecting a solenoid to a valve element when the ice making water is supplied to an ice making pan of an automatic ice maker with the operation of the solenoid for opening /closing the valve element to open/close a water supply hole of a water supply container. SOLUTION: The water supply container provided in a refrigerating room has an opening/closing valve for opening/closing the water supply hole formed in the bottom. When the ice making water is supplied through a water supply passage which vertically passes through a heat insulating partition wall between the refrigerating room and a freezing room, to the ice making pan of the automatic ice maker which is provided in the freezing room, magnetic force is generated in the direction of opening the opening/closing valve by the solenoid provided around the water supply passage.
