A refrigerator includes a freezer compartment and a machine compartment positioned proximate the freezer compartment. An icemaker assembly is positioned within the freezer compartment. A fill tube extends from the machine compartment into the icemaker assembly. A first solenoid valve is coupled to the fill tube. A second solenoid valve is coupled to the fill tube, wherein the first and second solenoid valves are positioned within the machine compartment. A controller is configured to independently open and close the first and second solenoid valves.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator. A refrigerator of the present invention may comprise: a first tray assembly forming a part of ice-making cells; a second tray assembly forming the other part of the ice-making cells; and a heater. In order to reduce the transfer heat, which is transferred from the heater to any one of the first and second tray assemblies, to ice-making cells formed by the other tray assembly, the one tray assembly may comprise a first part forming at least a part of the ice-making cells. The degree of heat transfer of the first part may vary along the outer circumferential surfaces of the ice-making cells.

The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator having a manual ice maker.

The refrigerator includes a main body in which a storage compartment is formed, a door to open and close the storage compartment, and an ice maker provided on the door to generate ice, wherein the ice maker includes a frame having a water container mounting part, an ice making tray provided on the frame and in which ice is generated, and a water container detachably mounted on the frame to supply water to the ice making tray, and wherein the water container is configured such that at least a portion of the water container is opened when mounted on the water container mounting part.

In a refrigerator, a cam of a cam gear rotating by a driving motor is provided with a structure protruding from an edge portion of a cam gear to a center, thereby increasing the thickness of a cam surface. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the magnitude of force directly transferred from the cam gear to a magnet lever.
