ABSTRACT:
An ice maker has an ice tray with a plurality of ice forming cavities arranged in longitudinal succession therealong, and a water distributor extending along the tray and arranged to receive water from a water feed system. The distributor serves to distribute water evenly into the cavities without the overflow of water from one to another, thereby avoiding the formation of interconnecting webs between ice masses formed in the cavities. A level detector is provided, typically in the form of a thermistor, to detect a predetermined level of water in the tray and provide a control signal when said level is detected.
