Claim 10:
11. A temperature sensing assembly for an ice storage chamber, the ice storage chamber defining a vertical direction, a lateral direction, and a transverse direction, the temperature sensing assembly comprising:
a sleeve defining a first portion and a second portion;
a conductive plug inserted into the first portion of the sleeve; and
a thermistor inserted into the second portion of the sleeve to determine a level of the ice cubes within the ice storage chamber when at least one ice cube contacts the conductive plug, the temperature sensor being a separate piece from the conductive plug, wherein the thermistor contacts the conductive plug at a junction of the first portion and the second portion, the conductive plug transferring heat between an interior of the ice storage chamber and the thermistor.
