4. The refrigerator of claim 3 , wherein the drawer defines a drawer opening in a rear portion of the drawer, and

wherein the drawer opening and the bin opening overlap in a front and rear direction to face each other.

5. The refrigerator of claim 2 , further comprising a cover plate that is disposed at a lower portion of the ice ice-maker and extends downwardly from the ice-maker such that the cover plate shields at least a portion of the bin opening in the retracted state.

6. The refrigerator of claim 5 , wherein the cover plate defines a plurality of ventilation holes at a lower portion thereof, the plurality of ventilation holes being disposed on a rear portion of the ice-maker.

7. The refrigerator of claim 1 , wherein the ice-maker comprises:

a first assembly comprising a first tray forming one portion of an ice chamber and a first casing fixing a position of the first tray; and

a second assembly mounted to the first assembly, and comprising a second tray forming the other portion of the ice chamber, and

wherein the first casing including a horizontal extension configured to define a top face of the first casing and a side wall configured to extend downwardly from the horizontal extension.

8. The refrigerator of claim 7 , wherein the side wall is configured to surround at least a portion of the second assembly such that the second assembly is prevented from being exposed to outside of the side wall.

9. The refrigerator of claim 7 , wherein a lower portion of the side wall is configured to be housed inside the ice bin at the retracted state.

10. The refrigerator of claim 7 , further comprising a cover plate coupled to the first casing and disposed at a rear face of the side wall,

wherein the ice bin defines a bin opening in a rear wall of the ice bin, and the drawer defines a drawer opening in a rear portion of the drawer, and

wherein the cover plate configured to pass through the bin opening and the drawer opening based on the drawer being retracted into and extended from the freezing compartment.

11. The refrigerator of claim 7 , wherein the freezing compartment comprises a mounting cover disposed at a position corresponding to a position where the ice-maker is mounted, the mounting cover defining a space further recessed upwardly from the top face of the freezing compartment.

12. The refrigerator of claim 11 , wherein the ice-maker further comprises a first ejector having a structure that protrudes upward form the top face of the first casing, and

wherein the mounting cover defines a cover recess configured to receive a portion of the first ejector.

13. The refrigerator of claim 11 , wherein the ice-maker further comprises a second ejector disposed in an inner side of the side wall of the first casing.

14. The refrigerator of claim 13 , wherein the second ejector comprises a second ejecting pin configured to be located within a moving range of the second assembly.

15. The refrigerator of claim 14 , wherein the second ejector further comprises a second ejector body fixed to the inner side of the side wall and comprises an inclined face on which the second ejecting pin is formed,

wherein the second assembly is pivotably coupled to the first assembly, and

wherein the inclined face has an inclined shape such that the second ejecting pin extends along a pivoting path of the second assembly.
