Zusammenfassung:	An automatic ice maker for a refrigerator freezer door having an elongated mold including a first edge (422), a second edge (444) and a fill trough (446) extending along the second edge above the mold (436). The fill trough has at least one opening for water to flow into the mold from the fill trough. The fill trough has a first side wall (448) extending above the mold, a bottom wall (452) extending from the first side wall away from the mold and a second side wall (450) spaced from the first side wall and extending upwardly from the bottom wall higher than the first side wall. The mold includes a first end wall (456) and a second end wall (458) that extends above the second edge. The fill trough and the second end wall direct water back into the mold when the insulated door is moved abruptly with water present in the mold.
