Abstract: Disclosed is an ice maker in which a pressing portion of an ice cover presses a heating wire cover that covers a heating wire seated in the ice tray such that the ice tray and the heating wire are brought into being close contact with each other. Accordingly, a heat transfer efficiency at which a heat amount from the heating wire is transferred to the ice tray is increased.

Abstract: Each of an ice maker and a refrigerator includes a first cooling fin extending from a first-row inlet guide along a second direction intersecting a first direction in which inlet guides are arranged, so that the cooling fin extends along a direction in which cold air is introduced, thereby minimizing a cold air flow path resistance and improving cooling efficiency of an ice chamber.
