a bin. Early icemakers dropped the ice into a bin in the freezer compartment; the user had to open the freezer door to obtain ice. In 1965, Frigidaire introduced icemakers that dispensed from the front of the freezer door. In these models, pressing a glass against a cradle on the outside of the door runs a motor, which turns an auger in the bin and delivers ice cubes to the glass. Most dispensers can optionally route the ice through a crushing mechanism to deliver crushed ice. Some dispensers can also dispense chilled water. Fresh food compartment icemakers There are alternatives developed by manufacturers such as Whirlpool, LG, Samsung to the freezer compartment icemakers. These new type of icemakers located in the fresh food compartment and becoming more popular feature among customers, when they shopping for a new refrigerator with an icemaker. In order to functioning properly, icemaker compartment should keep temperature inside around 0 °F and needs to be properly sealed around, because located in the fresh food compartment where temperature usually high than +36 °F. Unfortunately, there are some disadvantages for this type of icemakers and due to design flaws of icemaker compartment in the Samsung refrigerator, warm air getting inside through the seals and create water condensation. This condensation turning into ice chunks and jamming icemaker mechanism. Thousands of people in US were experiencing this issue and in 2017 was created a lawsuit against Samsung refusing to properly fix this issue. Portable icemakers Portable icemakers are units that can fit on a countertop. They are the fastest and smallest icemakers on the market. The ice produced by a portable icemaker is bullet-shaped and has a cloudy, opaque appearance. The first batch of ice can be made within 10 minutes of turning the appliance on and adding water. The water is pumped into a small tube with metal pegs immersed in the water. Because the unit is portable, water must be filled manually. The water is pumped from the bottom of the reservoir to the freeze tray. The pegs use a heating and cooling system inside to freeze the water around them and then heat up so the ice slips off the peg and into the storage bin. Ice begins to form in a matter of minutes, however, the size of ice cubes depends on the freezing cycle - a longer cycle results in thicker cubes. Portable icemakers will
