Abstract

A liquid dispensing assembly for a refrigerator includes a liquid supply line that extends into an ejection spout located above a fill chamber, closely adjacent the inner surface of a refrigerator door. The ejection spout defines a nozzle that is angled downwardly and rearwardly to direct the discharge path of the spout into a container placed in the fill chamber.
