Abstract:
An ice making apparatus for an appliance includes a housing that has an interior volume and an ice tray horizontally suspended across the interior volume that is configured to retain water. The ice making apparatus also includes a heat pump thermally coupled to a bottom surface of the ice tray. The heat pump is configured to freeze water in the ice tray and expel heat. A heat transfer device is configured to move heat expelled by the heat pump to an upper portion of the interior volume.

Claim (Index 9):
An icemaker for a refrigeration appliance comprising:\n an icemaker housing configured to be attached to a door of an appliance, the icemaker housing having an interior volume; an icemaker having an ice tray with a bottom surface disposed within the icemaker housing; a motor having a rotational axis operably coupled to the ice tray; a heat pump attached to and rotatable with the ice tray, the heat pump thermally coupled to the bottom surface, the heat pump configured to expel heat away from the bottom surface and freeze water in the ice tray; and a heat transfer device thermally coupled to the heat pump, the heat transfer device configured to move heat expelled by the heat pump to an upper portion of the interior volume for forming at least one substantially clear ice piece within the ice tray; a fan located within the icemaker housing; the fan being located adjacent to the ice tray and the heat pump; the heat transfer device being thermally coupled to the heat pump, wherein the heat transfer device is at least partially disposed both below and above the ice tray.
