Abstract
A refrigerator appliance includes a cabinet, a liner attached to the cabinet, a conductive ice mold, a water dispenser, and a water basin. The liner defines an icebox (IB) compartment. The conductive ice mold is mounted within the IB compartment. The conductive ice mold defines a mold cavity. The water dispenser is positioned below the conductive ice mold to direct an ice-building spray of water to the mold cavity. The water basin is removably disposed within the IB compartment below the conductive ice mold. The water basin includes a basin wall defining a water reservoir and an electrical basin plug fixed to the basin wall to move therewith.
