It is also on the inside of the outer jacket 26 a dispenser housing 34 attached to the shape of the interior of the dispenser 30 forms.
Under the dispenser housing 34 is a cable routing 50 available. The routing 50 is with the donor 30 connected to a water supply pipe 52 hold through which water flows. In addition, the cable routing 50 at the back of the outer jacket 26 attached to allow the water supply line 52 maintains a predetermined distance.
Meanwhile, for the assembly of the cold storage room door 22 the water supply line 52 , the donor 30 and the like on the outer jacket 26 attached, and the wiring 50 is installed so that it is close to the back of the outer jacket 26 is applied.
After the the back of the cold storage room 22 forming inner jacket 24 to the outer jacket 26 was installed, the interior of the cold storage room door 22 , ie a space between the outer jacket 26 and the inner jacket 24 , filled with a foaming liquid for insulation.
In conclusion, the ice maker 42 , the ice store 44 and the transport device 46 in the ice making room 40 of the inner jacket 24 Installed.
However, the following problems exist in the related art.
First of all, the line routing 50 as it is in the 2 is shown installed close to the back of the outer jacket 26 is applied.
