A refrigerator is provided and includes a refrigerator body, a door body, an ice making apparatus and a controller. The refrigerator body includes a storage compartment. The door body is pivotally connected to the refrigerator body to open or close the storage compartment. The ice making apparatus includes a plurality of ice makers. The controller is configured to control at least one of the plurality of ice makers to make ice according to an ice making request.

A domestic refrigeration appliance includes a refrigerator compartment set to a first target temperature by a regulation or control unit, an ice maker compartment being separated from the refrigerator compartment by an inner insulation layer and set to a second target temperature by the regulation or control unit and an ice maker in the ice maker compartment. The regulation or control unit can switch between a normal ice making mode and a reduced-power ice making mode in which the target temperature in the ice maker compartment lies between the target temperature in the refrigerator compartment and the target temperature in the ice maker compartment in the normal ice making mode.

A refrigerator including: a main body including at least one storage compartment; a temperature sensor arrangeable in the main body; an ice making device including an ice tray arrangeable in the at least one storage compartment such that while the ice tray is arranged in the storage compartment, the ice tray allows ice to be formed therein, and an ice separator configured to separate the ice formed from the ice tray; a cooling device configured to cool the at least one storage compartment; a water supply device configured to supply water to the ice tray that forms the ice; and a controller configured to, based on a temperature value detected by the temperature sensor arranged in the main body being greater than a preset value, control the water supply device so that no water is supplied to the ice tray and control the ice making device to perform an inspection cycle to inspect the ice separator.

An ice maker for a refrigeration appliance, the ice maker including an ice maker frame and an ice tray housed within the ice maker frame and configured to form ice pieces therein. An air handler is disposed adjacent the ice maker frame and an ice maker fan is disposed within the air handler and is configured to direct cooled airflow out of the air handler and into the ice maker frame. A controller is configured to operatively control the ice maker during an ice making cycle. The ice maker is operable in a first mode and a second mode. When the ice maker is operated in the second mode, the ice maker fan is cycled on and off during predetermined time intervals in order to produce clear ice pieces.

A method for operating an ice maker appliance includes operating a harvest mechanism of an ice maker assembly to perform a harvest cycle. An amount of ice may be harvested from the ice maker appliance due to the harvest cycle. The method further includes determining the amount of ice harvested is less than a predetermined threshold. The method also includes suspending operation of the harvest mechanism based on the amount of ice harvested less than the predetermined threshold.
