Abstract
A water storage tank assembly 12 is accommodated so that it can be pulled out and extended over an ice making chamber 1 and a machine chamber 2 by passing through a lower portion of a partition wall part 4 by which the ice making chamber 1 is separated from the machine chamber 2. In the water storage tank assembly, a cube guide 16 is attached to a water storage tank 13 on the side of the ice making chamber. On the other hand, a pump motor 14 and a float switch 15 are attached to the water storage tank on the side of the machine chamber. The water storage tank assembly can be pulled out so that the water storage tank, the cube guide, the pump motor and the float switch, etc. can be completely cleaned to all corners.
