Refrigerator with an automatic compact fluid operated icemaker

A refrigerator comprising:

• a cabinet with a refrigerated compartment and an unrefrigerated machine compartment comprising:
• an icemaker assembly incorporating:
• an icemaker mounted in the refrigerated compartment, said icemaker including a body portion formed with an inlet, an outlet and an opening, as well as a flexible mold positioned in said opening;
• an ice storage bin for receiving ice from the icemaker during a harvest cycle;
• a water supply positioned to provide water to the flexible mold;
• an air supply circuit including a pump mounted in said machine compartment for providing a supply of warmed air, a first fluid conduit connected between the pump and the inlet and a second fluid conduit connected to the outlet, whereby said icemaker forms ice during an ice production cycle and the warmed air in the machine compartment partially melts and aids in releasing the ice which is then deposited in the ice storage bin during the harvest cycle.
