ABSTRACT:
An ice-discharge chute of an ice-dispensing system of a refrigerator-freezer has first and second spaced-apart doors, each formed of a plurality of deflectable overlapping elements. The elements of each door are movable between a first position at which the elements seal the chute for preventing the passage of air therethrough and a second position at which the elements are deflected downwardly in response to contact by an ice piece for passage of the ice piece through the door and the chute. Heating elements are associated with the overlapping portions of at least a portion of the deflectable elements for preventing freezing of one element to another.
