Abstract
An icemaker for a refrigeration device contains a refrigerant circuit and an ice container that is located in a subassembly housed in a refrigeration compartment of the refrigeration device. The ice container is in thermal contact with the refrigerant circuit by a first heat exchanger. A second sub-assembly that is located in a freezer compartment of the refrigeration device contains a second heat exchanger of the refrigerant circuit. Water in the ice container is cooled by the dissipation of heat from the second heat exchanger to the freezer compartment.
