Claim 17:
18. A refrigerator comprising: a storage chamber; a cooler configured to supply cold into the storage chamber; a bracket coupled to a wall of the storage chamber;
a first tray having a first portion of a cell;
a second tray having a second portion of the cell, the first portion and the second portion of the cell being configured to define a space of the cell to receive liquid to be phase-changed to form ice;
a liquid supply part configured to supply the liquid into the cell;
a heater provided adjacent to at least one of the first tray or the second tray; and
a controller configured to control the heater while the ice is forming in the space of the cell so that air bubbles dissolved in the liquid within the cell move from a portion of the cell where the liquid has phase-changed into ice toward another portion of the cell where the liquid is in a fluid state, and
wherein the refrigerator further comprises a pusher having a first edge formed with a surface for pressing the second tray to separate the ice from the cell, a bar extending from the first edge, and a second edge located an end of the bar, and
