Abstract

An ice cube-making machine that is characterized by substantially noiseless operation at the location where ice cubes are dispensed and a lightweight configuration for ease of installation. The ice cube-making machine has a support structure that substantially isolates the compressor from the atmosphere to reduce the transmission of noise and vibration.
