Claim:
An ice maker, comprising: an ice tray that receives water to be frozen into ice; a supply pipe that supplies water to the ice tray; and a cover movably coupled to the ice tray so as to open and close an open upper portion of the ice tray and prevent discharge of water from the ice tray, wherein the cover includes: a hole extending along a longitudinal center portion of the cover; and a pair of waterproofing walls that respectively extend along opposite longitudinal sides of the hole, wherein each of the pair of waterproofing walls extends at an incline from a respective upper edge thereof toward a central point between the pair of waterproofing walls, with the upper edge of each of the pair of waterproofing walls extending upward and outward beyond an adjacent exterior surface of the cover, and a lower edge of each of the pair of waterproofing walls extending downward and inward beyond an adjacent interior surface of the cover such that a distance between the respective upper edges of the pair of waterproofing walls is greater than a distance between the respective lower edges of the pair of waterproofing walls so as to guide water from the supply pipe into the ice tray.
