AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention simplifies the assembly process of an icemaker for refrigerators by using a modular design for the driving parts. This prevents parts from being omitted and makes the assembly much easier.

Problems solved by technology

Since the plurality of parts must be installed in the case 50 during the assembling process of the driving device 40 of the conventional icemaker for refrigerator, the assembling process becomes inevitably complex.

Furthermore, some parts are likely to be omitted during the assembling process.
