PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ice maker capable of miniaturizing an ice-making water tank. SOLUTION: This ice maker comprises the ice-making water tank 6 for storing the unfrozen water flowing out from an ice-making part 2, and the supply water supplied from the external, and the ice-making water in the ice-making water tank 6 is constantly supplied to the ice-making part 2 by driving a pump 8 in an ice-making process, as a result, the unfrozen water is returned to the ice-making water tank 6. A water level sensor 40 is mounted on the ice-making tank 6, the detection by the water level sensor 40 is counted by a counter CT, and the ice-making is completed on the basis of the predetermined count number. Whereby this ice maker can cope with the enlargement of the ice-maker only by changing the set count number corresponding to a size of the ice-making part 2, without enlarging a volume of the ice-making water tank 6.
