ABSTRACT:
A subassembly for an ice maker includes a double-sided ice cube tray having a housing located within the refrigerator freezer. The housing has a first side with spaced-apart first ice cube cavities facing upward and has a second side with spaced-apart second ice cube cavities facing downward. With frozen ice cubes attached to the second ice cube cavities, household water is delivered to the empty first ice cube cavities. The heat of the water causes the frozen ice cubes to become detached from the second ice cube cavities whereupon gravity causes them to fall into a storage bin below. After the water freezes in the first ice cube cavities, a mechanism rotates the housing one-half turn and the cycle is repeated.
