Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an ice maker-driving device for a refrigerator and a method for operating the same wherein the ice-making container (36) connected to the ice-separating lever (5) and rotated by initial circuit set is reversely rotated before forward rotation and has a protruded coupling part having a predetermined angle formed on the other side thereof, without any cooperation with the ice-separating lever (5), so as to be coupled with a case-fixing part, thereby allowing the ice-making container (36) to be twistedly rotated at one side thereof according to the reverse rotation of the ice-separating lever (5), such that the separation of ice cubes is conducted and also the stress and tense state of the parts caused by their freezing are removed to prevent their malfunction, thereby efficiently achieving the ice-separating and storing operations.
