Abstract
The peel off between an ice making plate and an insulating layer or between the insulating layer and heating means is prevented so that an ice making operation can be performed efficiently. Also, a metal plate is insulated from the heating means reliably. An evaporation pipeand electric heaters Hto HN are provided in an ice making member. A coolant is circulatingly supplied through the evaporation pipeso as to cool the ice making memberand ice making water is supplied to the ice making memberso as to form an ice block M during the ice making operation. During the deicing operation, heat is generated in the heaters Hto HN by applying current so that the ice block M is removed from the ice making memberby melting. The ice making member, in a state that an insulating layerlies between a metal plateto which the evaporation pipeis fixed and the heaters Hto HN, is formed by bonding the metal platewith the insulating layer, and the insulating layerwith each of the heaters Hto HN by thermocompression. Also, in addition to thermocompression bonding, the external outline of the heating means (Hto HN) may be located inside the insulating layer
