Summary:An ice-making apparatus for an appliance having a housing with an interior volume and an ice tray (70) horizontally suspended in the interior volume. The ice tray has a cold plate (76) with a top surface and a bottom surface and a containment wall surrounding an edge portion of the cold plate to retain water. A cooling source (102) is thermally coupled to the bottom surface of the cold plate. An intake conduit (186) extends into the interior volume over the ice tray and is configured to draw ambient air into the interior volume over the ice tray, and the ambient air is above freezing.
