Apparatus with ice maker

A refrigerator that has a cabinet with fresh food compartment and a door that provides access to the fresh food compartment, the refrigerator comprising:

• an icemaker having an ice mold;
• a thermoelectric device, the thermoelectric device having a heat flow across opposing sides;
• a pathway for acquiring a heat carrier from a location, the pathway in communication with the thermoelectric device;
• a heat sink thermally coupling the heat flow across the thermoelectric device with the heat carrier in the flow pathway.

A method for warming or cooling in an apparatus comprising:

• providing a housing, an icemaker disposed within the housing, and an ice mold within the icemaker;
• thermally coupling a thermoelectric device to the icemaker, the thermoelectric device having a heat flow across opposing sides;
• configuring a pathway in communication with a side of the thermoelectric device;
• moving a heat carrier through the pathway from a location separate from the thermoelectric device;
• absorbing or rejecting the heat flow from the side of the thermoelectric device for supporting operations of the apparatus.
