Ice maker for refrigerator

An ice maker comprising:

• a first assembly comprising a first tray that defines a plurality of first chambers;
• a second assembly comprising a second tray that defines a plurality of second chambers, the second assembly being configured to move between (i) a closed position in which the second tray is in contact with the first tray to make ice and (ii) an open position in which the second tray is spaced apart from the first tray to separate ice, wherein the plurality of first chambers and the plurality of second chambers are configured to define a plurality of ice chambers based on the second assembly moving to the closed position;
• a driver configured to pivot the second assembly;
• a first arm pivotally coupled to the second assembly;
• and
• a first elastic member having (i) a first end connected to a first elastic member connector of the first arm and (ii) a second end connected to a first locking portion of the second assembly,
• wherein the plurality of ice chambers are arranged in a first direction,
• wherein a pivoting shaft of the second assembly extends along the first direction,
• wherein the first tray and the second tray are configured to be arranged in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction based on the second assembly being located at the closed position, and
• wherein the first locking portion is configured to be spaced apart from the first elastic member connector in a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction based on the second assembly being located at the closed position.

A refrigerator comprising:

• a case defines a storage space;
• and
• an ice maker provided in the storage space,
• wherein the ice maker comprises:
• a first assembly comprising a first tray that defines a plurality of first chambers,
