Abstract: An ice maker capable of efficiently making and removing ice cubes. The ice maker includes first and second pulleys, a drive unit, an ice making conveyor, heat/light generating units, and a reflecting member. The first and second pulleys are spaced apart from each other. The drive unit rotates the first and second pulleys. The ice making conveyor is wrapped around the first and second pulleys, and has a plurality of ice making parts which are concavely formed to contain water therein. The heat/light generating units are located in an interior of the ice making conveyor. The reflecting member covers upper and side portions of the heat/light generating units to downwardly reflect and guide heat and the light generated from the heat/light generating units. The ice maker is provided with the heat/light generating units and the reflecting member, thus allowing ice cubes to be efficiently removed from ice making parts located under the heat/light generating units, and minimizing the amount of energy transmitted to the ice making parts located above the heat/light generating units.
