An ice making machine comprises an ice forming member, a water tank for storing ice forming water to be supplied to the ice forming member, a water distribution pipe for supplying ice forming water onto the ice forming member, a first pipe having one end connected to the water distribution pipe, and a circulating pump having an intake port communicated to the water tank. The circulating pump is of a reversible rotation type and includes a first discharge port connected to the other end of the first pipe for delivering ice forming water to the ice forming member during an ice production cycle, and a second discharge port connected to a second pipe for discharging water from the water tank to a location other than the water distribution pipe during a deicing cycle. The location at which the second pipe discharge water can be a defreezing water distribution pipe for supplying defreezing water for removal of ice or a drain conduit in fluid communication with the exterior of the ice making machine.
