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 18):
A refrigerator comprising:\n a cabinet having a door; an icemaker housing on the door; an icemaker disposed within the icemaker housing; a stationary member disposed at a first end of the icemaker; a motor disposed at a second end of the icemaker; an ice tray within the icemaker and operably coupled with the motor and rotatable about an axis; a thermoelectric device fixedly attached to the ice tray, the thermoelectric device having a cold side and a warm side, the cold side thermally coupled to a bottom portion of the ice tray, and the warm side thermally coupled to a heat sink; a heat transfer device within the icemaker housing and thermally coupled to the heat sink; and a fan located adjacent to the ice tray and the thermoelectric device, the fan configured to circulate air parallel to the axis of the ice tray, directly toward the thermoelectric device, and from the warm side of the thermoelectric device to an upper portion of the ice tray.
