Zusammenfassung:A valve device (1) comprising a passage (3) intended to be coupled with an ice cube dispensing conduit in a refrigerator; an obturator (12) and an electrically-controlled motor means (W; 22, 28, 30) adapted to cause a rotation of the obturator (12) between the closed position and the opened position. The valve device comprises a wire (W) of a shape-memory material, capable of shrinking when an electric current flows therethrough, and a consequent rotation of the obturator (12) towards the opened position, and an interruption of such current allows the shape-memory wire (W) to re-expand and the obturator (12) to return towards its closed position.
