Abstract
A refrigerator appliance may include a cabinet, a liner, a conductive ice mold, a freezing element, a water dispenser, a water basin, a fluid pump, and a controller. The controller may be configured to direct an ice-making operation, which includes directing warm-up activation of the fluid pump to spray warming water to the conductive ice mold from the water dispenser, holding the freezing element in an inactive state while directing warm-up activation, detecting a preparation target temperature of the conductive ice mold above freezing temperature while directing warm-up activation, halting warm-up activation of the fluid pump in response to detecting the preparation target temperature, directing billet formation of an ice billet within the conductive ice mold following halting warm-up activation, and directing harvest activation of the fluid pump from an inactive state to spray warming water to the conductive ice mold from the water dispenser for a set harvesting period.
